Wednesday brings eight MLB games on the main slate, with a buyer’s beware vibe on pitching and several high-upside stacks. Jacob Misiorowski is the closest thing to an ace but carries clear IL-recovery risk in a Cubs matchup. Hurston Waldrep has flashed a plus strikeout rate in three big-league starts, and Shohei Ohtani is creeping into fantasy-pivot discussions despite Coors Field exposure. Nick Martinez is a budget swing option with tasty K%/. K-BB in a favorable Angels matchup. On offense, Heliot Ramos is a midrange trap with big-lefty splits, while Oakland’s trio of Nick Kurtz, Shea Langeliers, and Brent Rooker offers a cheap stack against Bailey Ober. Top stacks focus on Dodgers at Coors (Betts, Smith, Freeman) and Rays vs Schlittler (Simpson, Diaz, Caminero). Michael Harris remains a discount-correlated hitter, and a few one-offs like Austin Martin and Trevor Larnach add upside. The slate invites balanced exposure to high-floor studs and bold, contrarian stacks built around Dodgers and Rays.

The Yankees unleashed a power onslaught in a rain-delayed showdown with the Rays, launching nine homers—tying a franchise record set earlier this season. José Caballero stomped back into his former stomping grounds and launched two big flies in his first game at Steinbrenner Field for New York, capping a night of fireworks that also featured Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger each going deep twice and Aaron Judge tying his 40th homer. Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ben Rice joined the homer splash for the Yankees as the club stacked a dramatic victory that reinforced their lineup’s pop. The club jumped out to an early 3-0 lead with back-to-back-to-back blasts from Judge, Bellinger and Stanton four batters into the game, marking a rare first-inning power parade that pushed New York toward a four-game win streak. The Rays, playing at a temporary home while Tropicana Field is repaired, watched a nocturnal barrage that underscored the Bronx Bombers’ eye-catching, high-voltage form and the league-wide fascination with their burgeoning offensive machine.

The New York Yankees carry momentum after Tuesday’s nine-homer outburst, aiming to extend a 7-3 run as they welcome the Rays with Cam Schlittler on the mound. Schlittler carries a 3.94 ERA through six big-league starts, while Drew Rasmussen anchors a Rays staff operating under an innings limit but posting a 2.60 ERA in 2025. The tale on Wednesday shifts to control and early innings, with Tampa Bay a wary test for Schlittler and Rasmussen aiming to keep New York's power at bay in a pitcher-friendly setup at George M. Steinbrenner Field.

Today’s MLB HR prop slate leans toward value plays with a clear focus on four players fueling today’s bets: Junior Caminero, Jurickson Profar, Trevor Larnach, and Miguel Andujar. Caminero brings a favorable home spot at Steinbrenner Field and a recent rhythm that supports over 0.5 HR at strong odds. Profar follows with a hot stretch and the Braves’ aggressive lineup exposure. Larnach looks to punish Ginn’s misgivings against left-handed batters, while Andujar has found form in a power-friendly venue facing Kikuchi. The piece stresses shopping odds across FanDuel and DraftKings to squeeze extra value from +320 to +750 ranges, plus noting a few long-shot targets on the slate. Weather and park factors are highlighted as key tailwinds for several picks, and the author emphasizes sticking to sharp lines and tracking late scratches or lineup shifts that could affect outcomes.
