Wednesday's Starting Pitcher Strategy
The pitching options leave much to be desired tonight. As a result, the picks are reduced to the two options on the table, despite the slate having eight games. They're the best duo in all game types at DK. The top-ranked pitcher is the best option in all game types at FD, with the second-ranked option an intriguing pivot in GPPs.
Luis Castillo (SEA) vs. MIN
Castillo never pitched at T-Mobile Park before the Mariners traded for him last year. Fortunately, he's dominated pitching there since the trade. According to Baseball-Reference, in 17 starts spanning 103.0 innings at T-Mobile Park, Castillo has had a 2.27 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, 5.5 BB% and 31.7 K%.
Castillo's elite strikeout rate in Seattle can serve him well tonight against the strikeout-prone Twins. Per FanGraphs, Minnesota has a 27.2 K% versus righties and a 27.5 K% on the road this year. In addition, the betting info is outstanding. According to BettingPros, the Mariners are -165, and the game's total is only 7.5 runs.
Wednesday's Hitter Strategy
Gamers should construct a stars-and-scrubs lineup using the suggested studs and values/punts in cash games. But stacking the Reds and Mets is appealing in GPPs.
