Price: $9,600

Top-end pitching options are pretty thin considering the size of Wednesday's main slate, and none of them are without risk, but Dallas Keuchel stands out at the top of the pack today.

He struggled last week in his first game back from a neck injury, and there's a chance that he's on a pretty short leash tonight, but he's in a good enough spot to make him worth that risk.

He's sporting a 3.26 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) in 2017, and his 23.9% strikeout rate and 10.6% swinging strike rate are both on pace to be career-highs.

He brings those marks into a solid matchup, and the Houston Astros are the main slate's biggest favorites (-200 moneyline) as they take on a Tampa Bay Rays team that has a shaky 92 wRC+, while their 25.9% strikeout rate against left-handed pitching is the second-highest mark in the majors.

numberFire's models also project Keuchel as the day's top-scoring arm.
