The Streaming Challenge, Week 5

Week 4 saw the boys falling in love with the Marlins pitching staff, and with good results. Let's see what happened:

Team Joe: Tom Koehler - 47.33, Henderson Alvarez - 26 = 73.33
Team Nate: Zach McAllister - 57, Nathan Eovaldi - 39 = 96

Heading into Week 4 Joe led the challenge 2-1, but as you can see Nate has come back from an 0-2 deficit to tie The Joe at 2-2. So here we are now at the deciding week in the best of 5 challenge, and it's a truly hideous week for streaming pitchers, which is perfect since it is a truly hideous fate that belies the loser of the challenge, a power packed punch to the gut. So with the challenge on the line, you might say it's...GUT CHECK TIME!!!

Team Joe: Chris Young (@NYY, @ Hou), Dallas Keuchel (Sea)
Team Nate: Franklin Morales (@Ari, NYM), John Danks (@Cle)

Like I said, a hideous week for streaming. Most two start options are solid pitchers and well owned, Young and Morales definitely do not qualify as either. Keuchel has been really good so far this year, but I still wouldn't be interested in any of these guys in anything less than a 15 team league. Who will slop out and emerge victorious in the first ever streaming challenge?! Time will tell...

And on that ominous note, happy streaming!
