For fantasy baseball enthusiasts looking to bolster their pitching staff, several intriguing streaming options are available for the upcoming week. Jeffrey Springs of the Athletics is set to face the White Sox and Brewers, showing promise with his increasing velocity. Grant Holmes, also rostered at 73%, faces favorable matchups against the Blue Jays and Twins, despite previous efficiency issues. Chaos characterizes Mitch Keller's outings with the Pirates, yet his potential for high strikeouts can be enticing with two starts against the Nationals and Guardians. Keep an eye on Tylor Megill of the Mets; he’s been solid this season, albeit with uncertainty about a second start.

Tomoyuki Sugano has shown efficiency for the Orioles and could benefit from a weak Guardians batting lineup. JP Sears of the Athletics, currently at 27% rostered, is worth a flier, especially against the struggling White Sox. Landen Roupp has swing-and-miss potential and would be a good addition in points leagues. Finally, Richard Fitts boasts quality starts and might emerge as a sleeper against the White Sox. As we enter this scoring period, these pitchers present a variety of opportunities for fantasy managers.

The New York Mets, standing at 8-4, are set to face the Oakland Athletics (5-8) in Sacramento for a weekend series opener on April 11, 2025. Griffin Canning will take the mound for the Mets, while JP Sears will do so for Oakland. The Mets recently completed a homestand, winning five out of six games, with Pete Alonso leading the charge, batting .381 with 7 RBIs over the last six games. Meanwhile, the Athletics struggled against the Padres, losing two of three and finding themselves tied for the MLB lead in home runs with Tyler Soderstrom's six.

The game details indicate a start time of 10:05 PM EST, and fans can catch the action via SNY or NBCSCA+. Current betting odds favor the Mets at -136 on the moneyline, while the Athletics are at +115, with the total set at 10.0 runs. Both teams have been on contrasting streaks recently; the Mets’ winning streak was halted at six games. Fantasy players should note Francisco Lindor's impressive eight-game hitting streak, while the Athletics have seen the Game Total OVER hit in seven of their last 13 games.

Strikeout props take center stage as the MLB season gains momentum. As we head into April 5, 2025, the betting landscape is ripe with opportunities, especially for savvy bettors looking to capitalize on pitchers with favorable matchups. Today's highlighted picks include players like Reese Olson of the Detroit Tigers, who is projected to exceed 5.5 strikeouts against the Chicago White Sox, a team that has shown a tendency to strike out against right-handed pitching. Olson's recent strong performance against the Dodgers showcases his potential.

Spencer Arrighetti from the Houston Astros, also targeting 5.5 strikeouts, faces a Twins lineup grappling with strikeout regression. With a solid debut under his belt and a potent curveball, Arrighetti could easily exceed this mark. Taj Bradley, meanwhile, will need to navigate the deep Texas Rangers lineup, but his strikeout rate suggests he’s capable of meeting the 5.5 threshold. Brady Singer has reinvented himself with a potent mix of pitches leading to increased strikeouts in his recent outings. He'll encounter a Brewers lineup that has struggled against righties. Lastly, keep an eye on AJ Smith-Shawver, who faces the Miami Marlins, one of the more strikeout-prone teams in baseball, making his 4.5 strikeout prop an intriguing bet.

Saturday brings a robust lineup of MLB DFS picks for the evening slate, with plenty of options across DraftKings and FanDuel. Starting pitchers Brady Singer, Bryce Miller, and JP Sears stand out as top choices, each showcasing impressive strikeout potential in favorable matchups. Singer faces the Milwaukee Brewers, who have struggled against right-handed pitching this season, while Miller looks to capitalize on a high strikeout rate from the San Francisco Giants. For those looking for value plays, consider infielders Elly De La Cruz and Tyler Soderstrom, who have proven offensive upside against favorable matchups. In the outfield, Mike Trout and Julio Rodriguez are primed for a big day, especially with Trout finally finding his swing.

The Athletics, Reds, and Marlins present strong stacking opportunities against pitchers who have struggled early in the season. The key to maximizing your lineup is to monitor injury reports and starting lineups as the game time approaches. Make sure to leverage the insights from the RotoBaller community for any last-minute lineup adjustments.

The Oakland Athletics have begun their transition to Sacramento, embracing their new temporary home ahead of their anticipated move to Las Vegas. As part of this acclimation, manager Mark Kotsay and four players attended a Sacramento Kings game, where they received a warm welcome from fans.

Despite the A's request to eliminate their city identifier, a public address announcer mistakenly referred to them as the Sacramento Athletics. The team is currently utilizing Sutter Health Park while owner John Fisher collaborates with Kings owner Vivek Ranadive.
