Fantasy Baseball: 5 Pitchers to Stream for Week 12

Zack Wheeler, New York Mets

Starts: June 19th at Los Angeles Dodgers, June 24th at San Francisco Giants
ESPN ownership: 28 percent

You won't have to fight for your piece of New York Mets youngster Zack Wheeler, not after he laid an absolute egg against the Chicago Cubs this week, surrendering eight earned runs without getting out of the second inning. He's in an interesting spot for Week 12, though, with a west coast jaunt lining him up against two squads that have been pretty lousy against righties over the last month.

The struggling Dodgers have still been taking their walks, though, so this could very well be a trap for fantasy owners sticking with Wheeler despite his perennial control issues and declining whiff rate. With a 1.49 WHIP on the season, Wheeler's pretty much constantly working around base runners and narrowly avoiding disaster; even in plus matchups, he's a risk/reward play, more so than any of the lesser-owned players who are further down this list.
