Fantasy baseball streamers and arsenal changes for Michael Soroka, Jose Soriano, more
Eric Samulski lists his favorite streaming starts of the week and discusses some key pitch mix changes.

In this article, every Monday, you'll not only get a list of my favorite streaming starting pitchers for the whole week, but underneath that , you'll get a breakdown of a few pitchers who are making interesting changes to their pitch mix.
Today I covered Jose Soriano, Michael Soroka, Jack Kochanowicz, and Steven Matz. It's a little bit of rankings and a little bit of analysis, and hopefully a lot of help for your teams. RELATED: Check out this week’s MLB Power Rankings!
