Five pitching streamers for this weekend include a couple of repeat names from last, alongside some very high upside plays and a recently traded starter.

Friday

Chase Burnes – SP – CIN @ PIT – 55% rostered (Yahoo)

Even with his ownership percentage slightly above that 50% threshold, I felt compelled to include Burns on the basis that 1.) No currently announced starter below 50% ownership provides real projectable value, and 2.) Burns offers high enough upside in this start (and even the rest of the season) to be streamed everywhere. The Pirates are a bottom barrel offensive club who don’t do a lot of damage, and Burns’ elite 36.4% strikeout rate should play up without the usual threat of the long ball. The walks haven’t been great, but Burns has been unlucky with his batted balls against, and in a more pitcher friendly environment than his home park, I’d stream him everywhere, and keep him in 10 team leagues until he falters.
