With the Scott Fish Bowl starting this week, my baseball preparation has taken a bit of a backseat. I still wanted to do a quick Week 15 pitching planner to put the information out there.
The Scott Fish Bowl is the ultimate Fantasy Football tournament/league. With over 800 teams, this combination of Fantasy Football analysts and fans is one of the most fun leagues I am a part of.
However, Scott does keep it different with a new roster/scoring setup each season. For that reason, I am quite behind on my preparation for it.
Last week my streaming options were 4-2-1 with Marco Estrada exiting in the first inning with an injury hence the tie. I talked up Jeremy Hellickson and he got bombed. Let’s hope I don’t fail in my Week 15 pitching planner.
As we head into the Week 15 pitching planner, my overall streaming suggestions are 73-20-2 with a couple of guys left as of this writing.
For the Week 15 pitching planner, I am using ownership percentages from ESPN. The information in this Week 15 pitching planner is up to date as of July 7th.

Tyler Chatwood, CHC at SD (14.0% ownership)
Reynaldo Lopez, CWS vs. KC (20.8% ownership)
Francisco Liriano, DET at TB (7.8% ownership)
Jason Hammel, KC at MIN (1.4% ownership)
Sonny Gray, NYY at BAL (49.6% ownership)
Shockingly, Gray is officially owned in less than half of leagues now. I like him to bounce back this week.
Nick Pivetta, PHI at NYM (39.2% ownership)
That’s it for the Week 15 pitching planner! Be sure to check out the rookie report as well as the rookie wide receiver rankings!
