Despite a slate of only eight games Monday, seven starters would have been good enough to rank in the top five on Sunday, with three projecting better than Sunday's top option. That doesn't leave many choices for streaming purposes, but there are a couple of candidates to help get a jump on Week 13. Even with the abbreviated schedule, there are plenty of hitters to fill your open roster spots, in large part due to some minor league call-ups seeing significant action.PitchingPitchers to streamRich Hill (L), 53 percent ownership in ESPN leagues, Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Los Angeles Angels: Pardon me for taking a little poetic license, featuring an option over the 50 percent threshold we use to identify streamers. There's a reason why Hill is available in so many leagues; he's pitched poorly since getting over his issues with recurring blisters. Most notable is a marked lack of control. There's been no report of Hill using a different grip to help keep his fingers clear, but it wouldn't be surprising if that's the case. The lefty looked better last time out, so he's worth the risk, facing a weak Angels club at Dodger Stadium, where the Halos will be without their designated hitter.Michael Wacha (R), 37 percent, St. Louis Cardinals vs. Cincinnati Reds: Wacha is frustrating from a fantasy sense, since his issue, unlike most struggling hurlers, isn't related to the long ball. While his walk rate is a little high, the real culprit is a bloated batting average on balls in play (BABIP). The problem is his hard-hit rate and line drive rate against are fine. It's cliché, but Wacha has been pitching into some poor batted-ball luck. At home in comfortable Busch Stadium, it's worth hoping regression begins.Brandon Finnegan (L), 6 percent, Cincinnati Reds at St. Louis Cardinals: It may seem risky to rely on Finnegan without seeing what he looks like coming off the disabled list. And to be honest, it is. But, the young southpaw draws a Redbird lineup sporting the sixth lowest weighted on-base average versus left-handers. Note, the Cardinals have recalled Randall Grichuk, ostensibly to help with this.Nick Pivetta (R), 4 percent, Philadelphia Phillies at Arizona Diamondbacks: Here's another risky, pick but beggars can't be choosers. Pivetta is coming off a couple of strong efforts, fanning 19 with only three walks in 13 innings. The Diamondbacks are dangerous, especially at home. However, part of Pivetta's success is deception, so he should have an edge until teams start to see him multiple times https://www.redwingssportinggoods.co...ak-jersey.aspx.Pitchers to avoidCole Hamels (L), 83 percent, Texas Rangers at Cleveland Indians: Don't be fooled by Hamels' tidy 3.13 ERA recorded prior to hitting the disabled list with a sore oblique in April.
