As we approach the halfway mark of the fantasy baseball season, several emerging pitchers are making waves on the waiver wire. This week, focus on Brandon Walter of the Houston Astros, who has been impressive in his recent outings, including back-to-back starts with strong strikeout numbers. His elite command and a solid changeup make him a viable streaming option.

David Festa of the Minnesota Twins is another name to watch. Despite a rocky return to the big leagues, his recent performance suggests he could be worth a gamble, especially with his effective changeup. Jacob Lopez from the Athletics recently had a breakout game, showcasing high strikeout potential. Finally, Charlie Morton has shown resilience and form, posting a significantly lower ERA over the past month, making him a reliable choice in deeper leagues.
