Wednesday's Starting Pitcher Strategy
A rookie who's hit the ground running and has a soft matchup is atop tonight's pitching options. He's followed by a veteran lefty who thrives at home. The third listed pitcher on the table is making an eye-catching return from multiple injury-marred seasons.

Cash Game Recommendations:

Bryce Miller (SEA) vs. OAK
Miller has made the transition from the minors to the majors with aplomb. According to FanGraphs, in four starts spanning 25.1 innings, he's had a 1.42 ERA, 2.82 xERA, 3.72 SIERA, 0.51 WHIP, 2.3 BB% and 25.0 K%. The rookie has pitched at least 6.0 innings in all of his starts.

In addition, his pitch modeling is excellent. Among starters with at least 20 innings this year, Miller's 122 Stuff+ is tied for the seventh-highest mark. He also has a 105 Location+ and 112 Pitching+.

The context is ideal for another superb start tonight. First, the Athletics are 22nd in wRC+ (86) and have a 26.3 K% against righties this year. They're also tied for 22nd in wRC+ (84) over the previous 14 days and have had a 26.6 K%.

Second, per Betting Pros, the Mariners are -275, and the game's total is 8.0 runs. So, Miller is the top pitcher in all game types at both DFS outlets tonight.

Wednesday's Hitter Strategy
The Mariners are my favorite source of hitters tonight, offering gamers a mix of high-end hitters and values. And the Red Sox have a pair of value options who are a good lineup fit in all game types. Gamers entering multiple GPP lineups should consider the Cubs. And Soto is the most exciting stud hitter on the slate.
