Pitcher

Wade Miley (HOU): $9,200 at Baltimore
Miley has been very efficient this season, currently holding an impressive 3.05 ERA. He has looked very strong recently, yielding just five runs and 15 hits (21 K’s) across 24.1 innings over his past four starts. Having one of the best offenses in the league provide adequate run support doesn’t hurt either. Miley should continue his fantasy-friendly ways against a Baltimore offense that ranks 25th in wRC+ with the 10th-highest strikeout rate (23.9%). 

Other Pitchers to consider: Walker Buehler (LAD), Stephen Strasburgh (WAS), Brad Keller (KC)
