Wednesday's Starting Pitcher Strategy
There aren't as many aces on tonight's slate. Yet, one of them is the headliner on Wednesday night. Another rock-solid hurler in a great matchup is the second-ranked pitcher. And the third-ranked hurler is a bargain pick with some risk.
Cash Game Recommendations:
Shohei Ohtani (LAA) at STL
Ohtani is among MLB's best pitchers. According to FanGraphs, he has the sixth-lowest ERA (1.85) among qualified pitchers this season. Ohtani also has a 2.82 xERA, 3.98 xFIP, 0.82 WHIP, 13.0 BB%, 35.1 K% and 31.9 CSW%. Sure, Ohtani could clean up his walks. But regardless, he's overwhelming hitters with his electrifying arsenal.
Calling Ohtani's arsenal electrifying doesn't do it full justice, either. Per FanGraphs, he has the second-highest Stuff+ (131) grade among qualified pitchers. Sadly, the Cardinals aren't a pushover. Ohtani can dominate them, though. And the betting info is outstanding. According to Betting Pros, the Angels are -142, and the game's total is just 7.5 runs. Thus, Ohtani is the top pitcher across game types tonight.
Wednesday's Hitter Strategy
Gamers don't need to full stack in cash games. Instead, using a mix of Cron, Hernandez and hitters from the Blue Jays is appealing. The Orioles are a fun stack in tournaments, too.
