What you need to know for Sunday's MLB Games

[biggins]

• Sunday's early game is in the Bronx with Jordan Montgomery and the New York Yankees hosting Rony Garcia and the Detroit Tigers. There isn't much to highlight for fantasy pickups, other than the usual reminder to set your lineups in leagues where lineups lock at the first game of the day. The ESPN Sunday night showcase features another iconic park with the Chicago Cubs entertaining the St. Louis Cardinals in Wrigley Field. The visitors have a solid contingent of right-handed batters readily available to face Cubs southpaw Justin Steele. Harrison Bader 49% rostered in ESPN leagues) heads the list, especially if you need a steal or two to win your head-to-head category league. Other candidates include Juan Yepez (20% rostered), Brendan Donovan (4%) and Albert Pujols(3%).
• Speaking of needing steals to help secure a head-to-head victory, the Los Angeles Angels, Texas Rangers and Colorado Rockies are the three teams to target. The Atlanta Braves wrap up a series in Coors Field and since the Rangers and Angels are both starting southpaws, Braves batters are the best candidates, but they're near universally rostered. However, catcher-eligible William Contreras (28%) is a good option and has seen playing time in the outfield and designated hitter. Even though they're left-handed, the Rangers' Martin Perez and the Angels' Patrick Sandoval have yielded a couple of steals this season, so Seattle Mariners in Arlington and Philadelphia Phillies at home against the Halos could grab a bag or two. Dylan Moore(less than 1%) is in play for the Mariners while Bryson Stott (2%) will see regular playing time for the Phillies with Jean Segura shelved for up to 12 weeks.
• Shifting the focus to the mound, there are a handful of streaming candidates, led by Rich Hill (5%) taking the ball for the Boston Red Sox in Oakland against an Athletics offense in the bottom third of the league facing southpaw pitching. Ryan Yarbrough (5%) is another soft-throwing lefty in a good spot with the Tampa Bay Rays hosting the Chicago White Sox and their injury-riddled lineup. George Kirby (24%) has fanned 17 over his last two outings, spanning 11 frames. On Sunday, he draws a Rangers club with one of the weakest offenses facing right-handers. Two other streaming options are Zach Plesac (48%) and Jakob Junis(12%).
• Let's wrap up with a few batters in a good spot to close the fantasy week. The right-handed contingent of the Cincinnati Redsface southpaw Patrick Corbin (6.96 ERA, 1.79 WHIP). Everyone merits an availability check with only Tyler Stephenson (88%) rostered in more than two-thirds of ESPN leagues, with most well below 50%.
