Streaming pitchers early in the season can provide crucial fantasy points, and a few options stand out for Week 1. Kumar Rocker of the Texas Rangers is a top choice, boasting impressive strikeout potential despite some walk issues. Grant Holmes from the Atlanta Braves is also notable, especially for his favorable home matchup against Miami, while the Chicago Cubs’ Ben Brown is a fresh face with high K/9 rates, making him a solid streamer. David Peterson from the Mets and Kris Bubic from the Royals provide additional options, although their matchups are more challenging.

On the hitter side, the Minnesota Twins and Cincinnati Reds emerge as teams to target for streaming players. The Twins face weaker pitching matchups, making left-handed hitters like Matt Wallner and Ryan Jeffers intriguing adds. The Reds also have favorable conditions and matchups, especially for hitters like T.J. Friedl and Jeimer Candelario.
