Kazmir hasn’t pitched well this season, but he’s reasonably priced for a team highly favored to win Wednesday...It’s unclear if Moore can keep it up, but he’s been dominant so far, sporting an 11.6 SwStr% that ranks top-20 among all starters in baseball. Moore’s K-BB% of 20.4 is also top-20 in major league baseball.

I’m stacking Rockies at Coors Field against lefty Jon Niese. Arenado is the no-brainer, while Hundley, Reynolds and Barnes are going the cheap route. There’s hardly a guarantee Barnes is in Colorado’s lineup, so have alternatives ready...Kendrick is off to an ugly start, but he’s a career .291 hitter who’s at home facing a southpaw. There are 24 second basemen more expensive.

Tulowitzki is actually still searching for his first hit against a left-handed pitcher this season, but that seems like a fluke...Teammate Bautista, meanwhile, owns a .333/.412/.600 line against lefties so far in 2016...Trout has raised his OPS from .730 to .918 over the last six games, and it’s unlikely he’s going to be just the No. 9 priced outfielder like he is Wednesday much longer.

Good luck with your contests Wednesday.
