Description

The Padres are making big changes, promoting Luis Patiño while demoting Joey Lucchesi. George Springer sprained his wrist, and the Astros are just 6-6 while dealing with a spate of pitching injuries. And the Red Sox? Well, they're just plain bad. On this episode of The Athletic's Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Michael Beller and Derek VanRiper discuss how all of those developments affect the fantasy world. They also look at interesting two-start pitchers and offenses we can stream against with confidence.Rundown1:02 The Changing Makeup of San Diego's Staff5:33 Time to Speculate on These Prospects10:32 Our Kingdom for a Miguel Andújar Trade15:53 George Springer's Injury = More Time for Kyle Tucker?21:44 The Red Sox are Bad24:53 Thumbs up to Lance McCullers in a Two-Start Week26:20 Time to Believe in Tyler Mahle28:14 Strong Two-Start Week for Randy Dobnak30:21 Dakota Hudson Kicks off Our List of Two-Start Maybes32:19 Rick Porcello against Washington and Philadelphia34:02 Why We Believe More in Alex Cobb with the Same Matchups as Porcello36:10 No Thanks, Jon Gray37:31 Offenses We Want to Stream AgainstFollow DVR on Twitter: @DerekVanRiperFollow Beller on Twitter: @MBeller
