STARTING PITCHERS FOR WEDNESDAY

Pitchers are ranked in order of their Forecaster/Daily Notes projected fantasy points (FPTS), using ESPN's standard scoring system (2 points per win, minus-2 per loss, 3 per inning, 1 per K, minus-1 apiece per hit or walk allowed, minus-2 per earned run allowed).

T: The pitcher's handedness. OPP: Opposing team. RST%: The pitcher's roster percentage in ESPN leagues. W%: The individual starting pitcher's win probability using ESPN projections. IP: Projected innings pitched. H+BB: Projected hits plus walks allowed. ER: Projected earned runs allowed. K: Projected strikeouts.

If a team is planning on using an "opener" to start their game, but will rely on a "bulk pitcher" to follow him on the mound after 1-2 innings, the bulk pitcher is listed and indicated with an asterisk.

Pitchers to stream on Wednesday

Over his last five outings, Ryne Nelson completed seven innings four times, falling one out short in another. In that six-game span, he has posted a 3.07 ERA and 0.98 WHIP, albeit with only 27 punchouts in 41 frames. However, his pitch efficiency allowed him go deep into games, and innings are integral to points-league scoring.
At some point, Reid Detmers might begin to waver after spending last season as a reliever and as the innings mount, but so far, he's showing the Los Angeles Angels were wise to move him back into the starting rotation. He recorded a 1.89 ERA and 0.68 WHIP over his last three efforts with 27 strikeouts and just five walks over 19 stanzas. Next up is a home date with the Houston Astros.
Over his previous three outings, Foster Griffin has yielded only four earned runs in 16 innings, but each was courtesy of a solo home run. He fanned 15 with just three walks in that span. The Washington Nationals visit the San Francisco Giants in Oracle Park. In part due to the venue, the Giants sport the second-lowest home run rate at home, with only the Boston Red Sox having a lower rate.
Shota Imanaga is rostered in almost 80% of ESPN leagues, precluding him from streaming status. However, he's set to take the bump for the Chicago Cubs in a road matchup against the Colorado Rockies, and the rule of thumb is avoiding all but elite pitchers in Coors Field. Imanaga isn't elite, and he has surrendered 12 homers over his last four starts, covering 21 2/3 innings. At Coors Field, however, the Rockies strike out at a league-high 28.1% clip against lefties, fueling the fifth-worst home wOBA facing southpaws.
