Pitchers to Stream

Jason Alexander (R) vs. COL Jason Alexander has been a key player for the Houston Astros, maintaining a 1.54 ERA this month. Despite a modest strikeout rate, his favorable home matchup against the Colorado Rockies makes him a solid streaming option.

Will Warren (R) @ CWS After a tough outing against the Boston Red Sox, Will Warren looks to bounce back against the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox have the third-lowest wOBA against right-handers this season.

Jose Quintana (L) vs. ARI Jose Quintana has been consistent with a 2.83 ERA this month. Despite the Diamondbacks' effectiveness against left-handers, Quintana's strong chance for a home win keeps him in streaming territory.

Pitchers to Avoid

Aaron Nola (R) vs. ATL Aaron Nola has shown inconsistency, making him a risky pick against the Atlanta Braves, who have improved their offense significantly since the All-Star break.

Hitters to Stream

Cal Quantrill (R) vs. PHI Cal Quantrill struggled in his first start with the Braves, but the Phillies' lineup, familiar with his style, could exploit his weaknesses.

Nabil Crismatt (R) @ MIL As the lowest-ranked starter for Thursday, Nabil Crismatt is likely to face early bullpen calls, making Brewers' hitters like Andruw Monasterio and Sal Frelick good streaming options.

Betting Tips

Best/Worst Matchups Utilize THE BAT X system for advanced betting projections, considering factors like player talent, ballparks, and weather conditions.

Expected Value (EV) Understand the Expected Value of your bets to maximize profitability. A bet with an EV of $25 means you can expect a $25 profit on a $100 investment over time.
