Fantasy Baseball: 4 Pitchers to Stream for Week 26
Seth Lugo, New York Mets
Stars: September 25th vs. Atlanta Braves, October 1st at Philadelphia Phillies
ESPN ownership: 3 percent
It's been a sophomore campaign to forget for promising New York Mets hurler Seth Lugo, who is likely eager to turn the page to 2018 after scraping by on a 5.03 ERA in just over 91 innings.
With a 5.56 ERA in just under 23 September innings, Lugo's recent results show more of the same struggles, yet a 3.02 FIP over that same span could indicate that there's a light at the end of the tunnel for the scuffling righty.
What better way to finish the season off on a positive note than a two-step against the Braves and Phillies, both squads that have shown major reach-rate problems in the second half while wallowing in the bottom-third of team power production.
Granted, with 15.0% walks to only 6.3% whiffs on his go-to sinker, Lugo is about as high-variance as streaming plays get, which is why he's there for the taking in almost all ESPN leagues. Floor-averse streamers need not be troubled, but if you're looking to make waves in the final week, Lugo might be your man.
