6 years agoWith injuries taking their toll on the New York Mets rotation, starting pitcher Seth Lugo will slide in and make his first start of the 2018 season on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs. Lugo has been great out of the bullpen for the Mets this season and had a ton of success in eight starts for the team in 2016, but this is not the matchup where you want to roll with him as a streamer. The Cubbies have scored the fifth most runs in baseball (272) with a team OPS that ranks third (.780). If Lugo continues to get opportunities as a starter, he’ll absolutely have streaming appeal in some matchups. Facing the Cubs simply isn’t one of them.--John Smith
