MLB DFS Picks: Starting Pitcher Rankings for Wednesday 9/2/26

Published:

By: Sam Connon

The 2026 MLB regular season is heating up. With playoff races heating up, 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 six-game Wednesday night contest that locks at 7:40 p.m. ET.
