It's a full Wednesday of baseball, with two afternoon games and a 13-game evening slate. Those in daily fantasy baseball contests aren't going to miss any of the four pitchers going in the afternoon, leaving plenty of options, regardless of your DFS strategy.
If you want to go with a high-strikeout stud -- always a good strategy in cash games -- you have Yu Darvish and Stephen Strasburg. If you want to go with a slightly riskier pitcher (read: cheaper) with plenty of upside, you have Felix Hernandez, Marcus Stroman and Steven Matz, among others. If you really want to go risky with a volatile high-K pitcher, you have Daniel Norris, Trevor Bauer, and even Blake Snell and Carlos Rodon -- the latter two of which are making their first major league starts in a while.
There are also "safe-and-boring" guys like Chase Anderson, Ivan Nova and Zack Godley, all of whom seem to be overachieving this year, but the advanced stats for all are solid, so you can still find plenty of value with them.
