RHP Luis Castillo of the Seattle Mariners is set to start against the Los Angeles Angels. Castillo is 5-4 at home but is 2-5 in his last 5 games. He has an ERA (home) 3.07 and 69 strikeouts (home). Castillo is projected to get 14.0 fantasy points.
RHP Gerrit Cole of the New York Yankees is set to start against crosstown rivals New York Mets. Cole has not pitched quite up to his potential, he should be far better than he has show. Going back to June 25th, the Mets hit 4 home runs off of him in four innings. On the upside, Cole is 4-1 in his last 5 games. In the last 7 games he’s 1.50 ERA and 8 strikeouts in the last 7 games.

Burnes is projected to get 13.0 fantasy points. His matchup against the Marlins is a good one for a pitcher of his caliber. Burnes can shut down the best teams, so he the lowly Miami Marlins shouldn’t be much of a match.

Final Thoughts
These are the top five pitchers projected to get the highest points by ESPN 10-team leagues with a standard scoring system for Wednesday night baseball. Tanner Bibee and Tyler Gaslow are still in the top ten of pitchers for tomorrow. Depending on what pitcher will put you in a position to win the matchup, these starting pitchers can give points to boost a team in a ESPN 10-team standard league
ESPN scores 2 points per win, minus -2 points per loss, 3 per inning, 1 per K, -1 per hit or walk and lastly minus -2 per runs allowed. My advice is to look at the matchups between both teams. On who is pitching and who the team is playing against. Example the Orioles are playing against the Marlins. The Marlins have a struggling offense with an ERA of 4.52 which ranks 26th in the league.
