Wednesday give us another split slate of MLB action on getaway day for most teams. My DraftKings Lineup Advice article today will focus on the seven-game evening slate that is full of high-priced pitchers to choose from, however, finding a value arm could prove to be difficult but there is one guy that has my attention. There is also a solid group of value hitting options to use as a core to build those Cash game lineups around.
As always, be sure to pay close attention to the lineups when they are released and monitor the weather leading up to game time. For reference throughout the season, be sure to bookmark our overview of MLB Park Factors and how to Use Weather to Your Advantage in MLB DFS. Also, check out our GPP and Cash Games Primers to learn more about different daily fantasy game types specific to MLB.

Pitchers
Gerrit Cole (HOU): $11,900 @ SEA
Gerrit Cole has been one of the most dominant pitchers in the early going this season with double-digit strikeouts in all three starts while putting up at least 34 DraftKings points in each outing. He won’t be able to keep up this pace but you have to keep rolling with him until his hot streak stops. Cole will face a Mariners’ team that is middle of the pack in most offensive categories against right-handers so far this season. Note that I do have some concern that the Mariners could get to him tonight so don’t be afraid to put together a hedge GPP stack of Mariners, just in case.
