Wednesday's main slate of 10 MLB games starts at 7:07 pm ET, with a 1:05 pm early slate also on tap. The night centers on a pitcher-friendly environment, led by premium arms and a solid value tier. Framber Valdez and Sonny Gray headline the stud targets, with Gray favored by form and matchup against Pittsburgh. Eric Lauer and rookie Ryan Bergert offer salary relief with quality upside, while Carmen Mlodzinski and Bubba Chandler present upside bets if they can push through innings.

Offense leans into ordered stacks: Seiya Suzuki and George Springer anchor price-conscious Cubs and Blue Jays cores, respectively. The Texas Rangers pop as the clearest stack (Josh Smith, Wyatt Langford, Corey Seager) even with Semien out, while the Astros—Jeremy Peña, Jose Altuve and Christian Walker—shape a tight mini-stack against the Rockies. Add value bats like Pavin Smith and Royals options, and stay alert for late-breaking lineup news.
