Fantasy Baseball Weekend Streamers: Dormant Orioles offense in great spot this weekend vs. Angels
This is a difficult weekend to stream hitters, as there are more teams with tough hitting matchups than favorable ones. The one piece of good news is that there is an unusual amount of left-handed starters on the docket this weekend, which opens the door to grabbing some players who excel against southpaws. Things look much brighter on the pitching side, as there are many starters who could help put fantasy baseball teams over the top in head-to-head leagues. Matchups to Target Marlins @ Nationals: Although Marlins hitters may have a tough time against MacKenzie Gore on Sunday, they will face starters in Mitchell Parker and Trevor Williams on Friday and Saturday with ERAs of 4.44 and 5.91, respectively. And throughout the series, Miami has the potential to do damage late in games against a bullpen with a 5.77 ERA. Otto Lopez (9%) and Agustín Ramírez (34%) should hit third and fourth, respectively, which makes both players appealing in all formats. Eric Wagaman (3%) is someone to consider in deeper leagues, as is Connor Norby (11%). Advertisement Orioles vs. Angels: Baltimore has struggled offensively at times this year but could have a great weekend against an uninspiring trio of starters and a bullpen with a 5.54 ERA. With two Los Angeles starters throwing from the left side, Ramon Laureano (1%) is a terrific player to add. Managers in deep leagues may want to add Ramón Urías (1%), who hits fifth in the lineup against southpaws. [Smarter waivers, better trades, optimized lineups — Yahoo Fantasy Plus unlocks it all] Royals vs. Athletics: The Royals should score a few runs against each of three mediocre starters this weekend before feasting on a bullpen that ranks last in baseball with a 6.04 ERA. The Athletics are starting two lefties, which makes right-handed leadoff man Jonathan India (38%) an excellent fit. Brewers vs. Cardinals: The Brewers should enjoy spending the weekend at their hitter-friendly home park, and they have plenty of offensive potential against three right-handed starters who would be best described as serviceable. The bottom half of the Brewers lineup is widely available, including Rhys Hoskins (43%), Sal Frelick (25%) and Caleb Durbin (4%). Advertisement Braves vs. Rockies: Atlanta's disappointing offense could enjoy three days of crooked numbers when they face a beleaguered Rockies staff that has a 5.61 ERA. Alex Verdugo (1%) should start the initial two games of the series. Those who have benched Michael Harris II in mixed leagues should ensure that he returns to the active lineup. Matchups to Avoid Red Sox vs. Yankees: New York will start lefties in all three games this weekend, and two of their starters (Carlos Rodón, Max Fried) are having excellent seasons. Lefty leadoff man Jarren Duran has struggled against same-sided hurlers this season. And there are a pair of rookies who bat from the left side, Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer. Advertisement Blue Jays @ Phillies: Toronto will face three starters with an ERA of 3.10 or lower, and two of the three throw from the left side. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., George Springer and Alejandro Kirk are the three Blue Jays who can remain in most lineups. Guardians @ Mariners: The Guardians will face effective right-handed starters on Friday and Saturday, and all of this weekend's games are at Seattle's pitcher-friendly venue. José Ramírez and Steven Kwan are the only Cleveland hitters who should remain in lineups. Rays @ Mets: New York will feature three solid starters this weekend, which should be good enough to get the game to a bullpen that ranks second in baseball with a 2.86 ERA. Junior Caminero should remain active, and the right-handed nature of all three Mets starters makes Brandon Lowe, Jonathan Aranda and Josh Lowe worth consideration in 12-team leagues. Although these players may remain in lineups, they are unlikely to have a major impact. Seeking Saves Calvin Faucher, Miami Marlins, 9% I'm less excited about Faucher than the other pitchers whom I have recommended in this space during recent weeks, but I must admit that he has a good chance of earning a save this weekend. The Nats are starting subpar hurlers on Friday and Saturday, and Miami's mediocre offense could be just good enough to build a narrow lead. Faucher has emerged as the Marlins' closer, having picked up four saves since May 26. Seeking Steals Willi Castro, Minnesota Twins, 47% The Twins will spend the weekend facing an Astros club that has allowed the second most steals of any team. Castro hasn't been especially aggressive on the basepaths this season, but he has posted lofty steals totals in the past. And with four eligible positions, the heavily-used utilityman is easy to fit into a lineup. In deeper leagues, Harrison Bader (3%) is another good candidate to swipe a base.

See it: New York Giants pass rush flashes dominance in practice
See it: New York Giants pass rush flashes dominance in practice One thing New York Giants fans are looking forward to this season is watching their team's pass rush in action. The prospect of having Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Dexter Lawrence, and rookie Abdul Carter on the field at the same time has their imaginations running wild. This week, at organized team activities (OTAs), we got a sneak preview of what that could look like. Even though these drills are limited contact, the speed and possibilities were evident. Spoiler alert: You don't want to have to block this. "Ultimately we want to get our best 11 on the field, whatever way we got to maneuver to do that," Giants defensive coordinator Shane Bowen said last week. "We got to find ways to get the guys that can impact the game on the field... So there is some versatility there. With Abdul he did a little bit of that stuff off the ball in college early in his career, so there is some versatility there and some versatility with what we could potentially do with Burns as well." Throughout their history, the Giants have consistently relied on their pass rush to achieve great heights. All four of their Super Bowl championship teams had a penchant for getting after passers with players such as Lawrence Taylor, Leonard Marshall, Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck, and Jason Pierre-Paul. Bowen has the weapons to replicate many of the strategies that made those defenses successful, of which the element of surprise is one. "It's going to challenge offenses to figure out what we're doing," said Burns. "And if you can put us in different spots doing the same thing, it'll be confusing at a certain point."
