Wednesday's Starting Pitcher Strategy

I've played every main slate this season, and I can't recall one where pitcher salaries have differed so wildly between DraftKings and FanDuel. Lucas Giolito is listed as the top cash-game recommendation, and he is, but only on FanDuel.

Max Scherzer is grossly underpriced on DraftKings, where he's my no-brainer favorite pitcher in all game types. Zach Thompson is having a fabulous rookie season and has a bargain salary on DraftKings, making him my slam-dunk SP2 in cash games there. Another huge salary difference between these two daily fantasy providers, Eduardo Rodriguez looks reasonably priced on DraftKings. Yet he's a bargain on FanDuel.
