Wednesday’s Top MLB DFS Picks & Player Props

Wednesday’s Starting Pitcher Rankings (6/24)

Shohei Ohtani (SP – LAD) at Minnesota Twins

Shohei Ohtani is having a fantastic season on the bump. According to FanGraphs, among 92 pitchers with at least 70 innings pitched this year, Ohtani is second in ERA (1.47), third in xERA (2.70), 20th in xFIP (3.40), 18th in SIERA (3.41), tied for third in WHIP (0.88) and 19th in strikeout rate (27%).

Ohtani’s matchup is decent, and his betting info is good. The Twins are seventh in wRC+ (108) with a 21.9% strikeout rate versus righties and tied for 16th in wRC+ (102) with a 20.4% strikeout rate at home in 2026. Minnesota is also 19th in wRC+ (94) with a 25% strikeout rate in the previous 30 days. The Dodgers are -178 favorites, and the game’s total is 7.5 runs.

Gage Jump (SP – ATH) at San Francisco Giants

Gage Jump has been unfazed, making the jump to the Majors. In five starts spanning 30.1 innings, Jump has produced the following numbers:

3 wins
3 quality starts
2.37 ERA
3.10 xERA
4.20 xFIP
4.08 SIERA
0.99 WHIP
7.6% walk rate
22% strikeout rate
11.3% SwStr%
27.1% CSW%
108 stuff+
97 location+
104 pitching+

Jump has an adequate matchup and favorable betting info tonight. The Giants are tied for 13th in wRC+ (99) with a 21.9% strikeout rate versus lefties and tied for 18th in wRC+ (99) with a 19.9% strikeout rate at home this year.

San Francisco is also tied for 11th in wRC+ (102) with a 21.6% strikeout rate in the previous 30 days. The Athletics are -130 favorites, and the game’s total is a pitcher-friendly 7.5 runs.

Trey Yesavage (SP – TOR) vs. Houston Astros

Trey Yesavage‘s numbers are mixed this year. He’s amassed the following stats in 10 starts, totaling 55 innings:

3 wins
3 quality starts
3.76 ERA
2.95 xERA
4.52 xFIP
4.44 SIERA
1.16 WHIP
11.2% walk rate
23.7% strikeout rate
13.7% SwStr%
27.6% CSW%
110 stuff+
87 location+
96 pitching+

Yesavage’s ERA falls between his brilliant xERA and disappointing xFIP and SIERA. The righty’s stuff+ is exciting, but his location+ and pitching+ leave something to be desired. His up-and-down numbers align with his inconsistent game logs. Yesavage is perfect for GPPs.

The righty’s matchup and betting info are decent. The Astros are 14th in wRC+ (103) with a 22.2% strikeout rate versus righties and sixth in wRC+ (105) with a 19.5% strikeout rate on the road this season.

Houston is 21st in wRC+ (90) with a 23.3% strikeout rate in the previous 30 days, too. As a result, the Blue Jays are -160 favorites, and the game’s total is 8.5 runs. Yesavage’s ceiling is worth chasing in GPPs.

Suggested Lineup Stacks

Road (Great American Ball Park )
Game Total/Moneyline: 9.0 Runs/MIL -140

The Brewers have a cushy matchup against Rhett Lowder tonight. Lowder has a 4.82 ERA, 5.17 xERA, 5.01 xFIP, 5.10 SIERA and 1.45 WHIP in 11 starts in 2026.

The right-handed hurler is especially giving to lefties, coughing up a .354 wOBA to 141 of them this season. In addition, the Reds are 25th in bullpen ERA (4.77) in 2026, enhancing the appeal of stacking the Brewers.

Road (Petco Park)
Game Total/Moneyline: 7.5 Runs/ATL -130

The Braves have a mouthwatering matchup tonight. JP Sears will start for the Padres tonight. He’s been hammered in Triple-A this season — 7.92 ERA, 5.68 xERA, 5.13 xFIP and 1.84 WHIP in 14 starts in Triple-A.

The veteran lefty ceded a .354 wOBA to 96 left-handed batters and a .351 wOBA to 487 right-handed batters in the Majors last season. Hitters of either handedness for the Braves are stackable tonight.
