Kyle Freeland, Colorado Rockies

Start: May 23rd at Los Angeles Dodgers
ESPN percentage owned: 36.7%

The Colorado Rockies cloud must be what's keeping Kyle Freeland at the margins of standard-league ownership, because the sophomore is showing notable walk rate improvement and vast strikeout rate gains, good enough for a 3.17 ERA and 3.77 FIP over 54 innings.

There's might also be a certain overblown aura to the Los Angeles Dodgers' offense, who were a clear stay-away from for streamers while posting a top-four team isolated slugging (ISO) last season but who have yet to replicate that power production in 2018. That's especially true when facing lefties, who have limited the Dodgers to a well-below-average .132 group ISO. This is a low-key enticing matchup for Freeland, who should be firmly on the streaming radar in all leagues.
