With 15 games on Wednesday April 5th, there are a lot of players to choose when making your MLB DraftKings line up.

MLB brings us a full 15-game slate today and it features some big name pitchers. Consider first though the marvel that is Bartolo Colon. Now 43, Colon will start today and make his Braves debut, the ninth team he’s pitched for in his major league career. Chris Sale makes his first regular season start after changing his Sox from white to red, and Jacob DeGrom, Rich Hill, and Cole Hamels all take the bump today. We have a little weather to take into consideration, and we have some stacks that you’ll want to check out. So let’s start off by taking a look at the top-priced pitchers we like for today. One quick note: this piece will cover the main slate of games, as there are only two early games now with the White Sox and Tigers postponed again.
