Here is the Industry Expert Consensus picks for Wednesday night’s 12-game slate. The experts seem to be divided on which starting pitchers to target tonight with nine different pitchers selected by at least three experts. On the hitting side there are a few individual batters with some high counts led by Stephen Vogt who was selected by 10 experts but there is not a stack of hitters with more than three players making the Consensus list. It should be a wide open night with spread out ownership.
