Week 18 Fantasy Baseball: Must-Start Pitchers & Streamers

Fantasy baseball playoffs are right around the corner and week 18 is the time to make your move. Join Doug and Mikey V as they break down the must-start pitchers, the hottest lineups, and the sleepers you need to grab off the waiver wire right now. Whether you are fighting for a top seed or just trying to stay alive, this episode of Bourbon N' Ball has everything you need to dominate your league.

In this episode, we dive deep into the pitching rotation, highlighting why guys like Gavin Williams and the newly traded Tarik Skubal are essential for your success. We also look at the flip side, identifying tough matchups for pitchers facing dangerous lineups in hitter-friendly parks like Colorado. On the offensive side, we break down which teams have the best schedules for stacking hitters, including a detailed look at the surging Red Sox and Rays.

We also cover the latest injury news that could make or break your season. From Byron Buxton's recurring issues to Tyler Glasnow's rehab timeline, we help you decide who to hold and who to drop as the regular season winds down. Finally, we wrap up with our top streaming picks for both pitchers and hitters to help you steal those extra points and secure a win this week.
