The 2026 MLB regular season is approaching its midpoint. With the All-Star break right around the corner, there is no better time to dive right into the Daily Fantasy action. Pitchers are already ranked by price, with the ones who are projected to perform better eating up more of your budget, but I am here to add my two cents. I have my own DFS rankings for the top 10 starting pitchers in the eight-game Wednesday night contest that locks at 7:10 p.m. ET.
