Streaming Challenge, Week 4

Week 3 of the Streaming Challenge is in the books, and Nate is on the board with a victory!! Let's take a look at the beautiful results (the author of these posts is clearly unbiased, eh?):

Team Joe: Jake Odorizzi - 14, Tanner Roark - 28.33 = 42.33
Team Nate: Phil Hughes - 54, Jonathan Niese - 34 = 88

So Nate fully doubled up the The Joe this week, thanks in large part to a rainout of a Rays game eliminating Odorizzi's second start. But hey, let's not take away from the fact that Phil Hughes was actually a serviceable option in a 2 start week for the lowly Twinkies. So with that, Joe still leads the challenge 2-1, but let us not dwell in the past! Onward to Week 4!

Due to Easter and a packed schedule, Nate shirked his first pick and Joe went ahead and chose both of his pitchers first. I will remind you all that these streaming options are only the available players in our shared 10 team head to head points league, Baseball for Dummies, where most pitchers that are worth anything are already owned, so a lot of these pitchers are deep league options as well.

Team Joe: Tom Koehler (@Atl, @NYM), Henderson Alvarez (@NYM),
Team Nate: Zach McAllister (KC, @SF), Nathan Eovaldi (@Atl)

3/4 of the pitchers are Marlins? Coincidence? Or have we found a discounted group of nice pitching options enjoying the Miami sun? This week will prove telling as they have some nice matchups against the Braves and Mets. The Braves have a potentially powerful offense, but they are also a bunch that strike out a heck of a lot. The Mets are...well, the Mets, and aren't a bad option to stream against, sitting at 15th in the Majors with 77 runs scored.

Show the Marlins a little love this week, and as always, happy streaming!
