Fantasy Baseball: 5 Pitchers to Stream in Week 11
Brent Suter, Milwaukee Brewers
Start: June 15th vs. Philadelphia Phillies
ESPN percentage owned: 10.8%
Brent Suter is nothing to write home about, with a diminutive 20.3% strikeout rate on the current season that actually represents a notable career high, combined with a bone-chilling 16.0% homer-per-fly-ball rate that has kept the Milwaukee Brewers' lefty clear of fantasy rosters in all but the deepest of leagues.
Yet Suter's matchup this week should have the attention of owners in need of pitching help, as the Brewers draw a Phillies squad that has been utterly dreadful against southpaws as of late. The Phils carry an insanely low .057 group isolated slugging against lefties over that span, striking out at a league-leading 26.7% clip while serving up 24.1% soft contact -- surefire outs almost half the time, essentially.
Be advised, Suter is a flat out start-and-cut this week: don't be tempted to start him for what figures to be a two-start turn in Week 12 against St. Louis and Pittsburgh, both of who have been looking rather strong against lefties.
