This is a great weekend to get a temporary boost in the hitting department. Since Opening Day took place one week ago, most aces made their second 2025 start on Tuesday or Wednesday, which means that teams will use their weakest starters this weekend.
On the pitching side, the lack of elite talent creates plenty of streaming options, albeit with some risk involved. We saw the downside of streamers at the outset of the week when the likes of Kumar Rocker, Chris Paddack and Emerson Hancock all struggled on Monday.
