The MLB season is filled with ups and downs, but the key to success is to find some gems to stream! Today we're going to stack four Rays against a struggling Nationals' pitcher!
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 Tuesday slate and dig out some streamer gems to help you start off the week with a bang!

Hitter Streamers for 9/15 - Infielders
Rougned Odor (2B, LHB, TEX) - 28% Rostered
Matchup: @ HOU RHP Jose Urquidy
Odor is as streaky as they come and right now it looks like he's finally getting things going, as he's homered in three consecutive games. Urquidy has struggled since returning from injury - despite a 3.72 ERA (5.79 FIP), he's allowed six walks to only three strikeouts in 9.2 innings. This is an exploitable matchup that gives Odor a great opportunity to keep up the hot streak.
Bobby Dalbec (1B/3B, RHB, BOS) - 25% Rostered
Matchup: @ MIA RHP Sandy Alcantara
Dalbec has been on a roll lately, going 10-for-25 (.400) with six runs, five homers, and eight RBI in his last seven games. While his strikeout rate (46.8 K%) is way too high and will eventually lead to a slump, we need to ride with Dalbec here due to his power upside. Alcantara has allowed one or more homers in three of his four starts this season, so this could be a chance for Dalbec to keep things rolling.
Joey Wendle (2B/3B/SS, LHB, TB) - 5% Rostered
Matchup: vs. WAS RHP Anibal Sanchez
Wendle has been a nice source of speed lately, swiping four bags in his last eight games. He has a terrific matchup against Sanchez, who is really struggling this season, especially with keeping the ball in the park - he's posted a 2.11 HR/9. Fire up Wendle in this strong matchup.
Nate Lowe (1B, LHB, TB) - 3% Rostered
Matchup: vs. WAS RHP Anibal Sanchez
Lowe is finally getting regular playing time and he's starting to produce, going 4-for-11 (.364) with four runs, two homers, and five RBI in his last three games. Lowe has the power upside and prospect pedigree to make an impact down the stretch, particularly in this prime spot. He makes for a nice pairing with Wendle.
Hitter Streamers for 9/15 - Outfielders
Randy Arozarena (OF, TB, RHB) - 17% Rostered
Matchup: vs. WAS RHP Anibal Sanchez
Arozarena has shown some power upside, smacking four homers in only 33 plate appearances. He's also posted a 15% barrel rate, so he's generating premium contact. Arozarena has 94th-percentile sprint speed, so he can also chip in with some stolen bases. Fire him up in this great matchup.
Manuel Margot (OF, TB, RHB) - 14% Rostered
Matchup: vs. WAS RHP Anibal Sanchez
Margot completes our Rays stack against Sanchez. He's been an elite source of speed lately, stealing eight bases in his last seven games. In a league where stolen bases are so hard to come by, Margot deserves to be rostered in more leagues. Ride the wave against a struggling pitcher.
Aaron Hicks (OF, NYY, SHB) - 9% Rostered
Matchup: vs. TOR RHP Taijuan Walker
Hicks' counting stats (four home runs, 13 RBI, two stolen bases) are underwhelming, but he's an on-base machine (.373 OBP). He has some power and speed, so there's a chance that he can get hot playing in the bandbox that is Yankee Stadium. Hicks has been a fixture in the three-hole, so he's in a great spot for production.
Pitcher Streamer for 9/15
Dave Dunning (RHP, CHW) - 28% Rostered
Matchup: vs. MIN
Dunning has been solid as a rookie, posting a 2.70 ERA (2.81 FIP), 17.3 K-BB%, and 15.4 SwStr%. He's also generated weak contact, with elite numbers in exit velocity (95th-percentile) and hard-hit rate (82nd-percentile). In a tough slate for streamers, ride with this impressive rookie.
