Wednesday looks like an intriguing slate, especially since a couple of the better DFS options are working in the three afternoon affairs. While most of the scheduled starters are solid hurlers, there are not a lot of pairings in which a dominant arm faces a team with an elevated strikeout rate. This evens the playing field, spreading out ownership among more pitchers than usual. Hitting is also unusual; there are fewer obvious soft spots than a typical full slate. Heres what you need to know to navigate a challenging Wednesday split-docket.PitchingChad Green has been named the starter for the Yankees on Wednesday. We will update our matchup chart as soon as possible. EliteWhile its a little premature to start talking about Max Scherzer winning the National League Cy Young to bookend his 2013 award, were running low on narratives when he takes the hill. The Washington Nationals righty has his home run rate under control, so we cant even harp on that anymore. Scherzer will take the hill in Chase Field to take on an Arizona Diamondbacks squad that whiffs at an above-average clip, giving the 32-year-old the platform for his ninth double-digit strikeout performance of the season. Scherzer is in play for all DFS formats; the punchouts justify the price.?Chris Sale made it through the trade deadline unscathed; he may not be so lucky facing the Detroit Tigers in Comerica Park. The Chicago White Sox lefty is still an upper-echelon pitcher, and ultimately may remain elite, but a precipitous drop in strikeouts lowers his ceiling and destabilizes his floor. Seasonal owners are forced to hope Sale continues to produce despite weaker peripherals. DFS enthusiasts can pick and choose favorable spots, and quite frankly, this isnt one of them. If youre paying up in DFS, Scherzer is better for GPP play, and Johnny Cueto, leading off the solid tier, profiles better for cash action.SolidAs alluded to, Cueto, as usual, sets up as a safe yet productive play -- exactly whats wanted for cash games. The San Francisco Giants visit Citizens Bank Park to face the Philadelphia Phillies. Cuetos strength is going deep into games, which shouldnt be an issue as the hosts sport a weak weighted on-base average (wOBA) with a slightly above-average strikeout rate. Cueto isnt a bad choice for a main slate GPP, but if youre OK with the all-day contests, Scherzer is a higher upside play.If Junior Guerra were pitching for anyone but the Milwaukee Brewers, hed be the talk of the town. To be fair, his 2.39 ERA is artificially low, buoyed by a fortuitous 0.239 batting average on balls in play (BABIP). That said, Guerra has provided the Brewers with over 100 innings of solid ball, supported by decent peripherals. The 31-year-old righty is set up for another strong outing; hell take the hill in Petco Park to face the anemic San Diego Padres. In fact, since the Friars fan in one-quarter of their trips to the dish against right-handers, Guerra can be deployed in both GPP and cash formats.Jake Odorizzi takes the hill in Tropicana Field for a home contest with the Kansas City Royals. This looks like a low-scoring affair, which renders the Tampa Bay Rays righty a solid choice for cash play.The contrarian GPP play of the evening is Cole Hamels leading the new-look Texas Rangers into Camden Yards to take on the Baltimore Orioles. The hosts wOBA versus southpaws is actually below league average, which is one reason they acquired lefty-crusher Steve Pearce at the trade deadline. Hamels 8.9 K/9 in combination with an Orioles club with swing-and-miss potential fuels the aforementioned GPP option.As hinted in the introduction, the lack of strikeout pitchers with added whiff potential tilts most of the starters to cash play. Examples are Steven Matz in Yankee Stadium, Michael Fulmer facing the Chicago White Sox in Motown, John Lackey taking the hill in Wrigley Field against the Miami Marlins, and Rick Porcello toeing the Safeco Field rubber against the Seattle Mariners. Each is a quality arm, facing a pedestrian offense that doesnt whiff excessively, rendering each a cash candidate.Lets identify a few more tournament options, starting with Marco Estrada taking on the explosive Houston Astros in Minute Maid Park. Using righty pitchers opposing the Astros and their 24 percent punchout rate versus right-handers is a great contrarian GPP play. Adding to the intrigue: Estrada is a fly-ball pitcher, which is dangerous considering the beckoning Crawford boxes. But he also sports an 8.4 K/9. On a night when theres actually more safe than risky options, Estrada is the choice for the riverboat gamblers.Edinson Volquez and Trevor Bauer join Estrada as GPP options. Volquez draws the Tampa Bay Rays, who continue to fan at an accelerated pace against righties, while Bauer takes on the Minnesota Twins in Progressive Field.StreamersOnly 12 of the 30 scheduled starters fall in the streaming range as defined by a projected Game Score between 46 and 52. As is our policy, the focus will be on those with less than 50 percent ownership in ESPN formats. If youre curious about someone not featured, please dont hesitate to take advantage of the comments below or send a tweet to @ToddZola.Jeff Locke wont pad your strikeout total much, but with a date in Turner Field against the Atlanta Braves, run scoring should be minimal putting him in play for a win.Aided by being an extreme groundball artist, Tyler Anderson has pitched reasonably well in Coors Field. The acquisition of Josh Reddick will upgrade the Los Angeles Dodgers when facing right-handers but not enough to sway me from using the Colorado Rockies rookie in this home affair.Pairing off with Anderson is Brock Stewart, as the Los Angeles Dodgers are giving Kenta Maeda an extra day, something they may do a couple times down the stretch to help assuage the extra travel and the increase in games played as compared to the Japanese season. This will be Stewarts second visit to the bigs, having tossed five frames against the Brewers in May, whiffing seven but also allowing eight hits and two walks, leading to five earned runs. Stewart has been throwing very well at Triple-A Oklahoma, fanning over a hitter an inning while keeping the ball in the yard. This is the recipe for success when pitching at Coors Field, so while mimicking his minor league numbers is a tad optimistic, Stewart is in play if you need a little extra help in the strikeout department.AvoidTyler Duffey, Kendall Graveman and Jered Weaver check in with a projected Game Score 45 or below, which renders them too risky to start unless youre not at all concerned about your ratios. Joining the trio are Cody Reed squaring off with the Cincinnati Reds in the Great American Ballpark, Tom Koehler taking the hill in Wrigley Field and Rob Whalen making his MLB debut for the Atlanta Braves in Turner Field against the Pirates.HittingTheres just one club registering an eight for their overall hitting score, which makes finding traditional hitting stacks a tall task. The better ploy could be finding a couple of hitters taking advantage of platoon edges. The one squad in which a standard stack is effective is the Cleveland Indians, who are?taking on Tyler Duffey in Progressive Field. Duffey doesnt exhibit significant splits, which puts everyone in play. Most will be on Jason Kipnis, Francisco Lindor and Carlos Santana. Some will leverage Tyler Naquin and Lonnie Chisenhall for the platoon edge. Using Mike Napoli is the stealth contrarian play.The St. Louis Cardinals righties enjoy a park upgrade, as well as facing lefty Cody Reed in Cincinnati. Jedd Gyorko, Stephen Piscotty, Matt Holliday and the recently activated Jhonny Peralta benefit the most.The Milwaukee Brewers dont have the quality or quantity of lefties to really take advantage of Edwin Jackson, but using some combo of Scooter Gennett or Kirk Nieuwenhuis with Jonathan Villar could be productive.The Chicago Cubs are in a bit of a slump, but they can break out any time. Anthony Rizzo and Jason Heyward, who has actually been making solid contact lately, are in play versus Tom Koehler.Kendall Graveman can frustrate a lineup, and on paper, the right-handed Los Angeles Angels are a candidate to be shut down. However, the Halos have been raking against righties lately, so using Kole Calhoun and Ji-Man Choi with Mike Trout or Albert Pujols is a sneaky mini-stack.Most likely to hit a home run: Stephen PiscottyPiscotty hit leadoff on Tuesday. Hes a threat to take Cody Reed deep regardless, but give him a likely five at-bats in the GAB and theres a great chance he leaves the yard.Most likely to swipe a bag: Travis Jankowski Jankowski has been a recent favorite in this spot and for good reason. He has been getting on and running at will. Look for this to continue against the Brewers. Wholesale Air Max 95 .

Match factsSaturday, October 29 Start time 1330 local (0800 GMT)Big pictureNew Zealand have never won an ODI series in India. While the prospect of correcting such a record is daunting at the best of times, the whitewash in the Test series and the drubbing in Dharamsala only made it seem near-impossible. But after nearly two weeks, with the series at 2-2, they would rather look at Saturdays game as a chance to create history. After the Ranchi ODI, every member of New Zealands team management has used elegant variations of the same theme.New Zealands greatest strength during their last visit to India, for the World T20, lay in their astute reading of pitches. Tim Southee put it down to effective information exchange between batsmen and bowlers. Not every time we can get it right. We just give ourselves the best chance to read the conditions and adapt quickly, he said on the eve of the match.One area where they have not adapted quickly enough is their middle order. Corey Anderson and Luke Ronchi struggled in the first three ODIs and were subsequently dropped, but Ross Taylor has shown signs of form in the last two games. In a crunch game, they will need most of their batsmen to back what has generally been a competent bowling unit.India, on the other hand, will probably look at an opportunity missed after they could not close out the series in Ranchi. That means Jayant Yadav and Mandeep Singh will have to wait till at least the new year to make their ODI debuts, unless there is a last-minute injury or a left-field selection punt. For a young middle order, though, this is another chance to repay the faith that MS Dhoni has invested in them.Form guideIndia LWLWW (last five completed matches, most recent first)New Zealand WLWLWIn the spotlightAxar Patels record of two wickets from four games does not really indicate how well he has bowled this series. He has been Dhonis go-to holding bowler every time New Zealands batsmen have looked threatening, and in Ranchi he even contributed a gutsy 38 after being promoted to No.5. Axars niggardly bowling will once again remain crucial to bottling up New Zealands middle order.With seven wickets from four games, Tim Southee has quietly climbed to second place in the top wicket-takers list for the series. His late swing with the new ball and nerveless death bowling has given New Zealand all-round bowling cover. Southees knack of striking at the right time, like his dismissals of Dhoni in Delhi, and Manish Pandey and Kedar Jadhav in Ranchi, has proved to be game changing.Team newsAjinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Umesh Yadav were among those that did not feature in Indias optional training session. Dhoni had an extended hit in the spinners nett and, along with Jadhav, practised the sweep for a considerable length of time.dddddddddddd Jasprit Bumrah appeared to have regained his fitness and will likely take Dhawal Kulkarnis place in the XI. India are unlikely to tinker with the side too much otherwise.India (probable): 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Ajinkya Rahane, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 5 Manish Pandey, 6 Kedar Jadhav, 7 Hardik Pandya, 8 Axar Patel, 9 Amit Mishra, 10 Umesh Yadav, 11 Jasprit BumrahIn Ranchi, New Zealand had replaced Corey Anderson and Matt Henry with two spinners in Ish Sodhi and Anton Devcich. Taylor felt the six-bowler dynamic gave captain Kane Williamson greater latitude. Williamson and Mike Hesson will probably have to choose between the extra batting muscle of Anderson and the extra spin option of Devcich.New Zealand (probable): 1 Martin Guptill, 2 Tom Latham, 3 Kane Williamson (capt), 4 Ross Taylor, 5 BJ Watling (wk), 6 James Neesham, 7 Anton Devcich/Corey Anderson, 8 Mitchell Santner, 9 Tim Southee, 10 Trent Boult, 11 Matt HenryPitch and conditionsThe cyclone Kyant, which threatened to hit Visakhapatnam, has weakened into a deep depression, but there is forecast for showers on Friday and thunderstorm on Saturday. There were heavy showers on Thursday night as well, but the curator, K Nagamallaiah, said the ground staff had covered 80% of the outfield. On Saturday, the pitch appeared bald and devoid of any grass, even as the outfield remained lush. The rain wont have any effect on the pitch. It will remain good for batting and have good bounce, he said.Stats and triviaAmit Mishra has taken 10 wickets in the series, three more than any other bowler from either sides.Tim Southee is the only New Zealand bowler to have taken three-wicket hauls in the series. He did it twice and both came in wins - Delhi and Ranchi.India have a 4-1 win-loss record in Visakhapatnam. The lone defeat came in the last completed game here, against West Indies in November 2013.India won the deciding match against New Zealand in the 1995-96 and 1999-2000 series.QuotesWe have been on the road for a long period of time but we have three more days to get ourselves up. You dont often win series away from home, especially in the subcontinent. We know what we need to do to win.Ross Taylor was excited about the prospect of making history.Virat is a great player and its always nice if he scores. It makes life easy for the batsmen coming in. But, we have too many quality batsmen in the team and we need to deliver whenever we get the opportunity.Kedar Jadhav insisted India are not over-dependent on Virat Kohli.
