Pitchers to stream

Bailey Ober, Minnesota Twins — After a few weeks in the Minors to give him some rest, Ober is back in the Minnesota rotation, and he looked like his old self en route to five innings of two-run ball and a win against the White Sox last week. Granted, Chicago is an awfully easy matchup, and pitching in Great American Ball Park is never stress-free, but the Reds have been a middling lineup for months now. If Ober is avoiding the heart of the plate the way he does when his command is at its best (1.13 WHIP on the year) he could come through here with another five or six frames and a win.

Josiah Gray, Washington Nationals — Speaking of Chicago being an awfully easy matchup: Gray was sensational in his last start, striking out 10 over 6.1 innings against the Pirates, and now he gets a White Sox team that’s been abysmal against righty pitching (.660 team OPS since September 1). Gray’s floor is lower than you’d like, and it’s never easy to count on Washington to deliver the requisite run support, but he carries major strikeout upside tonight.

And now, without further ado, here are your full starting pitcher rankings for fantasy baseball on Wednesday, September 20.
