FanDuel MLB Lineup Advice: Wednesday (5/21)

FanDuel MLB Lineup Advice: Wednesday (5/21)

All teams are in action Wednesday. However, just 11 games are scheduled in the evening for the main-slate, which is what this article will focus on. This is another tricky slate, similar to last night, considering there are really good pitchers taking the mound, along with expensive hitting stacks in great spots. Finding salary savers who can produce enough fantasy points is crucial for cashing because the studs are set up for a big night. Let’s take a deeper dive into this DFS slate to find some of the best options.

Pitcher

Gerrit Cole (HOU): $11,700 vs. CWS
The Astros ace leads the way tonight for all pitchers. He finds himself in a situation where he should score the most FanDuel points against a weak hitting White Sox team. Max Scherzer and Jacob deGrom are both fine options as well in the top tier, however, making a decision on who will record the win is almost a coin flip. After watching teammate Justin Verlander mow down Chicago last night (eight IP, one hit, one earned run, and 12 strikeouts), expecting a similar result from Cole is within reason. Cole has five games under his belt this season where he has recorded double-digit K’s, scoring over 60 FanDuel points in two games. This is a matchup where Cole can hit his ceiling, while also providing a high floor in fantasy production. The price is steep but with 22 teams in action, it is possible to find value.
