After seven afternoon matchups, Wednesday night features seven games on the main DFS fantasy baseball slate, which begins at 6:45 p.m. ET. It sets up to be another fun night of fantasy baseball action as many series wrap up before teams head to new matchups for the weekend. Let’s look at the 14 teams in the player pool and find some solid MLB DFS picks for the evening slate.

While we don’t have Las Vegas Ballpark to attack this week or even a set of games at Coors Field, we do have great spots for offense at Sutter Health Park and Wrigley Field, where the wind will be blowing out. Be sure to check back for lineups and weather forecast updates before the games begin, since environments and matchups are key factors when making your MLB DFS picks for this Wednesday.

Let’s dive into the seven-game Wednesday night slate and pick out some top studs and values for your MLB DFS lineups on DraftKings. This article was written before starting lineups were announced.

PITCHER

Stud

Carlos Rodon, New York Yankees vs. Chicago White Sox, $8,700 — It’s not a great night for starting pitching options to pay up for with some shaky matchups and current form near the top of the salary structure. To pay up for some more hitters, though, you can get some good value by going with Rodon, who is at home at Yankee Stadium against the White Sox. Even though the environment and matchup isn’t ideal, Rodon has been consistent enough to be a cornerstone to build around this Wednesday.

Rodon has averaged 16.8 FPTS per start this season, but he has at least 17 FPTS in each of his last four outings after ramping up after not making his season debut until May 10. He posted exactly seven punchouts in three of his last four starts and won on the road against the A’s during that stretch, which is even less ideal of a matchup than facing Chicago. He has worked six innings in each of his last three games, and he is establishing himself as a steady contributor for the Yankees, who are heavy favorites at home this Wednesday.

Value

JR Ritchie, Atlanta Braves vs. San Francisco Giants, $6,800 — Ritchie is the No. 2 prospect in the Braves’ system, according to MLB Pipline, and the No. 58 prospect in all of baseball. The 22-year-old was impressive with 25.6 FPTS in his MLB debut against the Nationals in April, but he had a few down outings and ultimately returned to the minors when the team was healthy. He went 4-2 in eight starts in Triple-A, posting a 2.75 ERA and 36 strikeouts in 39 1/3 innings. He was called back up to work out of the bullpen, but will return to the rotation after Spencer Strider’s latest trip to the injured list.

Ritche came on in relief of Strider against the Mets and worked five shutout innings. He earned 18.8 FPTS in that appearance, the most since his debut. On Wednesday, he’ll be back in the rotation against the Giants, who still rank in the bottom third of the league in runs scored and home runs despite their recent improvements. Ritchie isn’t a sure thing, but he definitely has enough upside to be a good value play on this slate where many of the starting pitchers are very uncertain.

INFIELD

2B/SS Willi Castro, Colorado Rockies at Chicago Cubs, $4,000 — The wind blowing out in Wrigley will make the Rockies-Cubs game a great spot to get some offense, as long as the rain holds off. The Cubs are starting righty Javier Assad ($6,300), who has struggled against lefties this year and the switch-hitting Castro will look to stay hot while facing him from that side. Castro is hitting .282 with a .342 wOBA on the season, but the versatile and streaky switch-hitter has hit a scorching .354 with three homers, two stolen bases, and a .423 wOBA over his last 20 games. He has averaged 11.9 FPTS per game over his last 10 contests and has at least 11 FPTS in three of his last six. If the game in Chicago turns into a high-scoring contest, he’ll end up as a great value with a high ceiling at only $4,000, with the added flexibility of fitting at either middle infield spot.

Value

3B Kazuma Okamoto, Toronto Blue Jays at Boston Red Sox, $3,200 — Okamoto and the Blue Jays should be in a good spot against Red Sox lefty Jake Bennett ($6,600) at Fenway. Bennett went 1-2 with a 5.28 ERA in his first three MLB starts this season. Okamoto has hit .254 with a .222 ISO, .357 wOBA and 127 wRC+ against lefties on the season, and he is hitting .319 with two doubles, three homers, and a .399 wOBA over his last 13 games. During that span, he has averaged 8.6 FPTS per game over that stretch and had three straight games of at least 10 FPTS before going 0-for-2 with two walks and 6 FPTS on Tuesday in the series opener.

OUTFIELD

Stud

Bryan Reynolds, Pittsburgh Pirates at Athletics, $5,100 — The Pirates will be a prime spot for offense on Wednesday night in the late game as they take on Aaron Civale ($7,600) in his first start back from the IL at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park. Before going on the IL, Civale gave up 12 homers in 11 starts, including six homers in his five home starts. At Sutter Health Park, he posted a 5.47 ERA in 24 2/3 innings. Lefties hit him especially well with eight of those 12 homers, along with a .237 ISO and 45.5% hard-hit rate.

While Spencer Horwitz ($4,000) and Brandon Lowe ($5,800) make sense from the left side in the infield, the Pirates hottest hitter right now is Bryan Reynolds, who has gone 26-for-73 (.356) with eight doubles, six homers, a .356 ISO, a 53.3% hard-hit rate, and a 15.0% barrel rate over his last 20 games. Reynolds went 4-for-5 with two homers on Tuesday for 38 FPTS, and on Sunday, he went 2-for-3 with a homer and 23 FPTS against the Marlins. He has averaged 11.7 FPTS per game over his last 20 contests, and he has such a high ceiling in this matchup that his $5,100 salary feels like a bargain.

Value

Tyler Callihan, Pittsburgh Pirates at Athletics, $2,800 — Reynolds’ teammate Tyler Callihan is another strong option from the left side, who comes at a very affordable salary under $3,000. If you don’t go with Okamoto at the hot corner, Callihan can slide to that spot as well, or you can use him in the outfield. Since his promotion at the end of May, Callihan has gone 10-for-31 (.323) for the Pirates with two doubles, a triple, two homers and a stolen base. He is averaging 7.4 FPTS per game in his small sample size, but that number is skewed a bit since he has come into some games late. He has been starting against righties lately, though, and he should also be ready to take advantage of Civale’s struggles against lefties. The Pirates acquired Callihan from the Reds during spring training, and the 25-year-old lefty has shown he has good power and speed upside as a bargain option to consider this Wednesday.
