For fantasy baseball managers in ESPN 10-team leagues, Saturday's slate offers several streaming options for pitchers and hitters. Left-handed pitcher Ian Seymour of the Tampa Bay Rays is highlighted for his strong recent performance, including three consecutive wins and a 1.99 ERA over his last four starts. He faces the Baltimore Orioles at home.

Sean Manaea of the New York Mets is another pitcher to consider, with five quality starts in his last six outings and a 2.95 ERA. He is set to pitch at the pitcher-friendly Citi Field against the Washington Nationals. Hayden Wesneski of the Chicago Cubs, despite not being dominant, has been efficient and secured two wins since his July 29 debut. His home matchup against the Seattle Mariners, an offense that struggles and strikes out frequently, makes him a viable option.

Joey Cantillo of the Cleveland Guardians is also mentioned for his ability to limit home runs and miss bats, with recent improvements in control. He faces the San Diego Padres. On the hitting side, Randy Dobnak of the Kansas City Royals is flagged as a potential regression candidate, despite a 2.00 ERA, due to underlying metrics and a vulnerable profile against the Los Angeles Angels.

Several hitters are noted as widely available in fantasy leagues, including Zach Neto, Wade Meckler, Nolan Schanuel, Vaughn Grissom, and Moises Ballesteros, who are available in over 95% of ESPN leagues.
