Wednesday's 10-game main slate brings us a solid batch of arms to choose from, with only one of the evening's expected starters exceeding the $10k mark. On offense, tonight's game between the Indians and Rangers in Arlington once again rises to the top, alongside favorable spots for the Angels and Braves.

Pitchers to Target
High-Priced Pitchers
Lucas Giolito ($11,200 on FanDuel): It already seems like a long time ago since the days of Lucas Giolito being a target for stacks in DFS. Nowadays, he's priced in elite territory and is far and away the most expensive hurler on the slate. But it's well deserved, as he boasts a 3.67 SIERA and 30.3% strikeout rate, scoring over 50 FanDuel points in six of his last eight starts. Tonight's matchup against the Cubs isn't great -- Chicago's active roster has a solid 107 wRC+ versus righties -- but with cooler temperatures at Wrigley and double-digit mph winds blowing in from left, the conditions should benefit pitching. Note, however, that rain is also expected, so we'll have to make sure this game looks safe before committing.
