Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks: Starting pitcher rankings, strategy for April 27

Our daily fantasy baseball picks continue with starting pitcher rankings and advice for Wednesday's MLB slate.

Jake Arrieta takes the mound for the first time since no-hitting the Reds last week. Next victim: Milwaukee. You can bet Arrieta is going to be heavily owned Wednesday, which is why I'd suggest going in a different direction in tournament play — but don't totally fade the Cubs ace.

We also get to see Twins prospect Jose Berrios make his MLB debut against the Indians. He'll be an intriguing DFS pick, but could also be very popular, so beware. 

Let's take a look at Wednesday's starting pitcher rankings and picks. As usual, we'll also have daily fantasy baseball hitter picks and the DFS Playbook from Fantasy Alarm to help you find the best values on FanDuel and DraftKings. Good luck!

Daily fantasy baseball picks

Splurge: Matt Harvey, Mets vs. Reds. While everyone chases Arrieta's next no-no, why not save a little cash and go with Harvey ($9,300 on FD; $10,400 on DK) against a team that's already been no-hit?  

Sell: Jose Quintana, White Sox at Blue Jays. The Blue Jays crush lefties, so I'm avoiding Quintana ($8,300 on FD; $9,000 on DK) and looking for better value in his price range.

Save: Steven Wright, Red Sox vs. Braves. The knuckleballer is off to a strong start, and Wright ($6,900 on FD; $6,600 on DK) is a good bet to pick up a victory tonight. I'd also approve of taking a shot on Jose Berrios ($6,900 on DK), though he's not available on FanDuel as of this writing.
