Pitchers to stream

JP Sears, Oakland Athletics — Aaron Judge won’t return until tomorrow, meaning this New York Yankees lineup is still a shell of itself. That could allow Sears to thrive, as the lefty has an inflated ERA (5.06) that belies his swing-and-miss stuff (34 strikeouts in 32 innings, 66th-percentile K rate). He’s coming off of six shutout innings against the Seattle Mariners in his last start, and against this weak Yankees offense he could thrive on a pitching-starved day.

Braxton Garrett, Miami Marlins — Garrett was shelled his last time out, but that was in a rematch against the Atlanta Braves’ offense, so don’t read too much into it. The lefty had been solid prior to that, not allowing more than two runs in any of his previous starts, and he could have success against an Arizona Diamondbacks lineup that’s been middling against southpaws this season.

And now, without further ado, here are your full starting pitcher rankings for fantasy baseball on Monday, May 8.
