Christian Scott of the New York Mets has 13 strikeouts in 10 IP against the Philadelphia Phillies this season. Check out our starting pitcher rankings and other lineup selection tools for ESPN 10-team leagues with standard scoring.

Pitchers to stream: Christian Scott recorded his third quality start last time out. With a 28.0% strikeout rate, he should have more over 22 starts, but a high 10.2% walk rate and foul balls drive up his pitch count. Over his last 11 starts, his walk rate is 8.8%. The Mets host the Phillies, who have the seventh-lowest wOBA vs. right-handers, but third worst in the past month. Casey Mize is finding a groove for the San Diego Padres. He limited the Colorado Rockies to two runs in five frames at Coors Field, after fanning seven in 5⅔ innings against the Washington Nationals. Next is a home date against the Miami Marlins, who have fanned at a 27.4% clip away from Miami over the last month. Robert Gasser is making a case for the Milwaukee Brewers' playoff rotation with a 2.33 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over his past four starts, fanning 20 in 19⅓ innings. Next is a road date with the Baltimore Orioles, a below-average lineup with a high 26.6% strikeout rate vs. left-handers.

Hitters to stream: The Seattle Mariners face three right-handers in their weekend set with the Rockies at Coors Field. Expect rosterships of Dominic Canzone, J.P. Crawford, and Lazaro Montes to increase. Mickey Moniak is the primary Rockies target against the Mariners. He'll face Bryce Miller and his 6.52 second-half ERA. Joshua Baez has been dealing with tightness in his left side, but if he plays, he's in a favorable spot when the St. Louis Cardinals take on southpaw Andrew Alvarez and the Washington Nationals at home. The rookie boasts a 1.051 OPS in 43 plate appearances against lefties. Spencer Jones continues to strike out at an elevated pace, but he hits the ball hard and is reaping the benefits. Since July 29, he's batting .273/.331/.494 despite a 34.3% strikeout rate. The New York Yankees are in the desert, facing the Arizona Diamondbacks. Brandon Pfaadt appeared to be taking things to the next level, but he has stumbled lately, recording a 5.74 ERA over his last 31⅓ frames, fanning only 23 while yielding five home runs.
