Pitchers who can generate swings and misses are at a premium in today's game and MLB DFS players generally tend to lean in that direction when they're setting their MLB DFS lineups as well. And on Wednesday night, there's no shortage of pitchers with major strikeout potential with Corbin Burnes, Clayton Kershaw, Shohei Ohtani, Jack Flaherty and Max Scherzer all scheduled to take the mound. But which starting pitchers actually have the best matchups and can provide the most value on a night with a wealth of pitching options in the MLB DFS player pool?

Getting that decision right and saving as much money as possible in the process can help free up money to splurge on position players and that could be key on a night where pitching may very well reign supreme. So how do you strike a balance that allows you to get the most out of your pitching and stock up on stars like Freddie Freeman, Bo Bichette, Trea Turner, Kris Bryant and Aaron Judge on Wednesday night? Before locking in any MLB DFS picks for Wednesday, be sure to check out the MLB DFS advice, strategy and projections from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.

McClure is a daily Fantasy pro who has won almost $2 million in his career. And when it comes to daily Fantasy baseball, McClure is at his best. Recognized in the book "Fantasy Football (and Baseball) for Smart People: How to Turn Your Hobby into a Fortune" as a top MLB DFS player, McClure's proprietary projection model simulates each game 10,000 times, taking factors such as matchups and recent results into account. This allows him to find the best values on every site.

On Tuesday, McClure recommended Rays outfielder Austin Meadows as one of his top picks on both DraftKings and FanDuel. The result: Meadows went 2-for-5 with a home run and a double, scoring two runs and driving in three on his way to nearly 38 points on FanDuel and returning almost 11x on investment. Anybody who had him in their lineup was well on the way to a profitable day.

Now, with the 2021 MLB season rolling on Wednesday, McClure has locked in his top MLB daily Fantasy picks. Head to SportsLine now to see them.

One of McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Wednesday is Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres at $3,900 on DraftKings and $2,700 on FanDuel. The two-time AL All-Star has struggled mightily in his last 75 games over the past two seasons, hitting just four home runs and driving in 26 runs in 301 plate appearances.

However, we know from the 62 home runs and 167 RBIs in the two seasons prior that the talent is there and it's still a relatively small sample size to write the 24-year-old off. The Yankees certainly haven't, as they continue to give Torres opportunities in the middle of the infield and in the middle of the order. Torres hit his first home run of the season just before going on the COVID-19 list, so look for him to come back strong on Wednesday against Rangers lefty Hyeon-jong Yang.

Part of McClure's optimal MLB DFS strategy includes rostering Nationals outfielder Juan Soto at $5,800 on DraftKings and $4,000 on FanDuel. Soto led the National League in batting average (.351), on-base percentage (.490), slugging (.695) and OPS (1.185) last season, but he's off to a sluggish start by his lofty standards in 2021.

Soto currently sports a .784 OPS and only has three home runs with 14 RBIs, but the peripherals certainly seem to indicate that he's due to turn it around. His .288 BABIP is 75 points lower than it was a season ago and 37 points below his career average and his 2.6 percent home run rate is a career low. With the weather warming, Soto's natural power should show through and Soto is 4-for-11 with two home runs off Jake Arrieta, who will start for the Cubs on Wednesday.

McClure is also targeting an undervalued player who is set to explode for huge numbers on Wednesday. The stars are aligning for him to return tournament-winning value and he comes at a price that won't break the bank. You can only see who it is here.
