There’s baseball happening all day on Wednesday, but this article will be focusing on tonight’s nine-game MLB DFS slate that gets going at 6:40 p.m. ET in Detroit.

Need some help finding a couple values? Of course you do.

SP Didier Fuentes, Atlanta Braves at Washington Nationals, $6,800

You may remember Fuentes from his brief cup of coffee with the Braves in 2025. Making his MLB debut just days after his 20th birthday, Fuentes was not ready for the moment, pitching to a ghastly 13.85 ERA over four outings and 13.0 innings. However, the right-hander is now a year older and a year wiser. Fuentes looked incredible in Spring Training, and many thought there was a chance he’d break camp in Atlanta’s rotation due to the team’s crowded IL. That didn’t happen, but the top prospect went down to Triple-A and dominated for three starts, and now’s he’s back with the big club. On a slate that lack desirable options below $8,000, there’s a lot of reason to invest in Fuentes’ upside.

Also, it’s worth noting that Washington’s bats have cooled significantly since a hot start to the season. Across the past two weeks, the Nationals are hitting just .233 with a .128 ISO and a 93 wRC+. This isn’t a lineup that should fill Fuentes with any fear.

C Moises Ballesteros, Chicago Cubs vs. Philadelphia Phillies, $3,700

I don’t care how poor Taijuan Walker ($5,800) has looked this season, there’s no way I’m paying through the teeth for Pete Crow-Armstrong ($5,300) at the moment. So, let’s find a cheaper left-handed bat in the Cubs’ lineup, shall we? Ballesteros has been the beneficiary of some BABIP luck to begin 2026, but the rookie backstop is rolling at the moment, with a .238 ISO and a 1.101 OPS in his 48 plate appearances against RHPs.

Meanwhile, Walker has, in fact, been horrendous this season. So much so, that the veteran right-hander will work behind an opener on Wednesday evening. Still, there’s only so long that the Phillies can hide Walker, and things could get ugly with the wind blowing out at Wrigley Field. Walker owns a 9.18 ERA and a 7.37 FIP across 18.2 innings. His biggest issue has been opposing LHBs, as opponents within the split are combining to slash .362/.424/.690 with a .478 wOBA. Woof.

2B Jake Cronenworth, San Diego Padres at Colorado Rockies, $3,600

I feel gross writing up Cronenworth, but think of this less as an endorsement of the struggling infielder, and more as a need to stack against Tomoyuki Sugano ($6,100) at Coors Field. Like, I’m not sure there’s a starter with a more dangerous profile for the altitude. Not only does Sugano not generate whiffs, but the contact he often gives up is quite loud. In 2026, the former NPB stud is in possession of a first percentile opponent barrel rate (19.7%). Not surprisingly, that’s attached to a third percentile xERA (7.81).

As for Cronenworth? He’ll likely be the cheapest bat in the Padres’ lineup today — so that’s something. He’s due for a .192 BABIP to normalize at some point, too, I guess. The 32-year-old has a career 108 wRC+. I doubt he’s fallen off a cliff to this degree, but again, I wouldn’t be thinking about his services if not for the Coors element.
