Wednesday features a split slate of MLB action including a nine-game evening slate which will be the focus of this DraftKings Lineup Advice column. The early slate has some big name pitchers but the evening slate still has a few pitchers with some big-time strikeout potential including the pair of right-handers that top my list. There are also some solid mid-priced hitting options to allow you to fill out a solid Cash game lineup. So, let’s get after it!
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.

Trevor Bauer (CLE): $11,500 @ CHW
Bauer has been the strikeout king recently with three straight double-digit efforts while reaching that mark in five times in his last eight outings. He should be able to exceed the double-digit threshold in strikeouts again on Wednesday night when he faces the White Sox who have the third highest strikeout rate (25.5%) against righties over the last 30 days. Bauer has also had his way with White Sox batters in the past allowing a .239 wOBA with a 28.2% strikeout rate in 92 career plate appearances. Bauer should be a Cash game lock and GPP favorite on Wednesday.
