Overview
- Pitcher List refreshed its Aug. 20–22 streamer tiers for 12‑team formats and labeled several Auto‑Starts, listing Gerrit Cole, Gavin Williams and Jacob deGrom among the safest short‑term options.
- Pitcher List’s Aug. 19 SP roundup highlighted recent on‑field form that feeds those ranks, including Aaron Nola’s 7.0 IP, 1 ER, 8 Ks outing and multiple high‑strikeout starts that shift streamer upside and risk assessments.
- FantasyPros published a Week‑21 streaming and waiver guide with day‑by‑day VBR tables for Aug. 24–30 that list rostership, matchup wOBA and starter projections to plan multi‑start weeks and waiver bids.
- Both outlets stress using data tools—Pitcher List’s PLV projections and PL Bot plus daily Twitch AMAs, and FantasyPros’ probable‑pitcher reports—to weigh CSW/whiff rates, matchup strength and rostership when picking streamers.
- Practical takeaway for managers: prioritize Auto‑Starts for reliable innings and Ks, use VBR tables to target low‑rostership two‑start arms, and expect recent performances to change short‑term waiver priorities and streaming windows.
