Fantasy Baseball Week 17: Top Pitching Matchups to Win Your Week

Get ready to dominate your fantasy baseball league as we head into the home stretch of the season. Doug and Mikey V are back for week 17 of Bourbon and Ball to break down the must start pitchers, dangerous matchups, and the best waiver wire streamers to secure your spot in the playoffs. Whether you are looking for an ace like Chris Sale or a deep sleeper like Shane Drohan, we have the data you need to make the right moves.

In this episode, we dive deep into the pitching rotations, highlighting why Zach Wheeler and George Kirby are essential starts while cautioning against trap games for players like Cam Schlittler and Nathan Eovaldi. We also analyze which lineups are red hot, including the surging San Diego Padres and the Kansas City Royals. Plus, we provide a comprehensive injury report on stars like Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, and Bobby Witt Jr. to help you navigate the final weeks of the regular season.

We also take time to discuss the recent trade deadline moves, including the impact of the Curtis Mead and Connelly Early swap. If you are fighting for a playoff spot, you cannot afford to miss our streaming recommendations for both hitters and pitchers. Grab a drink and join us for an hour of expert fantasy strategy.
