Recommended Pickup
Tyler Thornburg, P, MIL: For those of you streaming starters for the last few days of the season, Thornburg might be the best option on Tuesday as he makes a spot start for Milwaukee. After an excellent minor league season, he has a 5.00 ERA in 18 major league innings. Since his first outing, when he gave up five earned runs in 5.1 innings, he has a 3.55 ERA and has struck out 14 batters in just under 13 innings. An already offensively-challened Padres team that will likely still be missing Carlos Quentin and has nothing to play for could be good prey for Thornburg, who will be eager to make an impression.
