In this week's Fantasy Baseball Today Express episode, hosts Frank Stample and Scott White break down optimal lineup decisions for Week 7 of the fantasy baseball season. They analyze two-start pitcher options, highlighting risks and opportunities based on matchups, recent performance, and team context. Peyton Tolley and Tanner Bybee are recommended as two-star streamers despite recent struggles, while Cade Cavalli, Davis Martin, and Nick Martinez are spotlighted as top one-start pitchers for points leagues. On the hitter side, Moises Ballesteros (aka 'Mo Baller') leads the sleeper list due to favorable Cubs matchups and consistent production. Other recommended hitters include Nate Lowe, Spencer Torkelson, Brandon Marsh, and several Mariners bats like Dominic Canzone and Cole Young, all benefiting from favorable right-handed pitching matchups. The episode emphasizes strategic rostering in less than 80% owned players and provides actionable insights for both standard and points formats.
