Welcome to the DFS MLB Optimal Lineups for Wednesday's early slate of games!

We've got some sketchy pitching on the ealy slate, so paying up for Trevor Bauer or Miles Mikolas appears to be the best way to go. I would have loved to use either J.A. Happ or even Zach Wheeler for a pay-down on DK, but that game looks like the weather is going to be a disaster. They could delay it further into the evening, but they could also just as easily postpone it due to the regional proximity of the two teams.

On the hitting front, you know the chalk guys we'd like to get in there, but we're also going to have to seek out a few bargains if paying up for pitching is as necessary as it seems. You're getting a few extra games to work with on the DK early slate so keep your options open. FanDuel is using just the fist six games of the day for its early contests.
