MLB DFS, 2026: Top FanDuel, DraftKings picks, lineups, advice for Wednesday, Aug. 26 from a daily Fantasy pro

All 30 teams will take the diamond on the Wednesday MLB schedule, but less than half the games have a first pitch of 7:05 p.m. ET or later. Thus, the MLB DFS player pool isn't necessarily overflowing for the main slate, but what it lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. With just one starting pitcher from the main slate ranking in the top 25 in ERA, going all in on hitters may be a prudent MLB DFS strategy. Among those batters available as daily Fantasy baseball picks include Pete Alonso, Munetaka Murakami, Shohei Ohtani and Bobby Witt Jr.
