Daily Fantasy Baseball Streamers - MLB Hitter, Pitcher Lineup Picks for Monday 8/31

It's another manic Monday, so you know what time it is - it's time to dig deep and find some streamers. Today is a tough day for pitcher streamers, so we'll roll the dice on a groundball machine. We'll also take a look at a Cardinals and Mariners stack!

When choosing my daily hitter streamers, I examine their platoon splits, lineup position, and pitching matchup. With pitchers, I account for the opposing lineup, team ballpark, and recent performance to help make my decision.

Each of my streamers will be rostered in between 0-40% of Yahoo leagues, with a mixed focus on both shallow and deeper formats. Today, I will be providing a streamer for each position, including two starting pitchers. Let’s take a look at the Monday slate and dig out some streamer gems to help you start off the week with a bang!

Hitter Streamers for 8/31 - Infielders

Austin Riley (3B/OF, ATL, RHP) 15% Rostered

Matchup: vs. BOS RHP Colten Brewer

Riley gets a good matchup at Fenway Park against the Red Sox atrocious pitching staff. Colten Brewer is a mediocre pitcher who does not pitch deep in games, failing to pitch past the fourth inning this year. Riley is starting to get hot, going 6-for-14 (.429) with three runs, two home runs, and four RBI in his past four games. The former top prospect is a great choice to stream in this exploitable matchup.

J.P. Crawford (SS, SEA, LHB) 14% Rostered

Matchup: vs. LAA RHP Jaime Barria

Crawford continues to be a fixture in the leadoff position in the Mariners' lineup. He has three multi-hit games in the past five, including six runs, one home run, three RBI, and one stolen base. Jaime Barria has pitched well this season, allowing only a combined three earned runs in his two turns, spanning 9.1 innings, but this is a pitcher who allowed 2.61 HR/9 last year, so he's not someone to fear.

Sam Haggerty (2B/OF, SEA, SHB) 5% Rostered

Matchup: vs. LAA RHP Jaime Barria

Haggerty has been rock solid lately, going 12-for-43 (.279) with six runs, one home run, six RBI, and three stolen bases in his last 11 games. He's hit in the two-hole for nine consecutive games, so he makes for a nice pairing with Crawford. Haggerty provides a nice source of cheap speed, which is valuable given the current climate of speed scarcity in MLB.

Travis Shaw (3B, TOR, LHB) 3% Rostered

Matchup: vs. BAL LHP Keegan Akin

Shaw faces a lefty, but this is a bullpen day for the Orioles, which could mean a lot of runs in the bandbox that is Sahlen Field. Shaw has mostly rotated between the three-hole and sixth spot in the Blue Jays' lineup. He's hit safely in three consecutive games, so perhaps this is the start of a hot streak. Fire up Shaw in a favorable matchup in a hitter's park.

 

Hitter Streamers for 8/31 - Outfielders

Brad Miller (2B/3B/OF, STL, LHB) 19% Rostered

Matchup: @ CIN RHP Anthony DeSclafani

Miller is always in play against a righty because he's become a fixture in the cleanup spot in the Cardinals' lineup. He's gone hitless in consecutive games, but before that he was on a nice stretch, going 8-for-21 (.381) in his previous five. He goes up against DeSclafani, who has gotten rocked in his last two starts, allowing 11 runs in 6.1 innings while walking six and striking out three. Miller is a prime streamer for Monday.

Sam Hilliard (OF, COL, LHB) - 14% Rostered

Matchup: vs. SD RHP Garrett Richards

Hilliard finds himself on this list for the second straight week because of his power-speed profile and his favorable matchup against a struggling Richards at Coors. Richards is coming off a start where he allowed six runs in 0.2 innings and it's tough to see him bounce back in the unfriendly confines of Coors. Hilliard has three home runs and two stolen bases in his last six games, so we can't ignore that kind of production in a prime matchup.

Dexter Fowler (OF, STL, SHB) 2% Rostered

Matchup: @ CIN RHP Anthony DeSclafani

Fowler is starting to swing a hot bat, going 4-12 (.300) with four runs, two home runs, five RBI, and one stolen base in his last four games. During that span, he's rotated between the sixth and eighth spots in the lineup, but we need to ride this hot streak against DeSclafani. Fowler makes for a nice pairing with Miller - let's hope that Miller gets on-base and Fowler brings him home.

Pitcher Streamer for 8/31

Dakota Hudson (RHP, STL) @ CIN - 36% Rostered

Hudson has pitched well in his last three starts, going 14.2 innings and allowing only six hits for three earned runs while walking six and striking out 12. While he has limited strikeout upside, he does induce groundballs at a high rate of 51%. On paper, this looks like a tough matchup in Cincinnati, but the Reds have only scored 31 runs in their last 14 games (2.21 runs per game). Fire up Hudson and let's hope he keeps up the good work.
