Hitter Streamers for 6/28 - Shallow Leagues
C.J. Cron (1B, RHB, COL) - 48% Rostered
Matchup: vs. PIT LHP Tyler Anderson
Cron is slashing .355/.412/.645 at Coors this season, making him a great play against Anderson, who has given up a .328 xwOBA (35th-percentile) and 1.57 HR/9. There's a good chance that this is a high-scoring game, so Cron should be able to have his fair share of opportunities for run production. He's also homered five times in his last 11 games, which makes him even more of an appealing streamer in shallow leagues.
Christian Walker (1B, RHB, ARI) - 22% Rostered
Matchup: at STL LHP Wade LeBlanc
Walker is swinging a hot bat of late, going 8-for-25 (.320) with six runs, two homers, and three RBI in his last seven games. He has a good matchup against LeBlanc, who has pitched in long relief this season. This is going to be a bullpen game for the Cardinals. Their bullpen has posted a 4.18 ERA (4.10 FIP) this year. Walker has a good chance to keep the good times rolling in this exploitable matchup.
Akil Baddoo (OF, LHB, DET) - 18% Rostered
Matchup: at CLE RHP Eli Morgan
Baddoo has had an impressive rookie season considering he didn't have any plate appearances above A-ball coming into this season. His 13.4% walk rate along with eight stolen bases has bumped him to the leadoff spot in this Tigers lineup, making him an intriguing asset moving forward. Baddoo has a good matchup against Morgan, who has given up 13 runs in only 11.1 innings this season.
Hitter Streamers for 6/28 - Deeper Leagues
Bobby Dalbec (1B, RHB, BOS) - 15% Rostered
Matchup: vs. KC LHP Danny Duffy
Dalbec is always in play against a lefty because he's slashing .263/.288/.513 against them this season. He has a tough matchup against Duffy, but I like the fact that it's at Fenway and this is Duffy's second start since returning from injury. There's a chance that the Royals won't let Duffy go deep in this one, as he's been limited to 42 and 15 pitches in two outings this month. Fire up Dalbec for his power upside.
Brendan Rodgers (2B/SS, RHB, COL) - 12% Rostered
Matchup: vs. PIT LHP Tyler Anderson
Rodgers is another Rockies hitter to fire him up in this mouth-watering matchup. The former top prospect has starting to swing a hot bat of late, going 10-for-31 (.323) with three runs, one homer, and four RBI in his last six games. He's also slashed .360/.448/.800 with three homers against lefties this season, which makes him even more intriguing against Anderson. Rodgers should be able to keep up this hot streak in this one.
Gregory Polanco (OF, LHB, PIT) - 3% Rostered
Matchup: at COL LHP Kyle Freeland
Polanco has homered in consecutive games, so we need to fire him up at Coors Field, even in a lefty-lefty matchup against Freeland, who has been abysmal this season. The veteran southpaw has given up a ton of hard contact, posting a .392 xwOBA (2nd-percentile) and 6.66 xERA. The Pirates' bats have been hot lately, making Polanco an appealing piece of a stack that can include Adam Frazier, Ke'Bryan Hayes, and Bryan Reynolds.
Pitcher Streamers for 6/28 - Shallow Leagues
Wade Miley (LHP, CIN) - 69% Rostered
Matchup: vs. PHI
There's really not many viable streaming options on Monday's slate, but there's a chance that Miley could be available on your waiver wire given that he's 69% rostered in Yahoo leagues. Miley continues to get it done, pitching six or more innings in three of his last four starts. He's also given up two runs or less in six consecutive starts. The Phillies have put up a 26.6% strikeout rate against lefties this year (25th in MLB).
Pitcher Streamers for 6/28 - Deeper Leagues
Matt Manning (RHP, DET) - 15% Rostered
Matchup: at CLE
Manning has prospect pedigree with an exploitable matchup against an Indians offense that has put up a .299 wOBA against righties this year (21st in MLB). Manning has turned in two quality starts since being called up to the big leagues, but the strikeouts haven't been there (four walks, four strikeouts in 10.2 innings). Still, I'm willing to take the risk here against a mediocre Cleveland lineup.
