The pitching side of things presents Wednesday's best fantasy pickups, and the following three are well worth your add in all but the most shallow leagues: Huascar Ynoa, SP, Atlanta Braves: An afterthought, fill-in fifth starter for the Braves exiting spring training as the team awaited the healthy return of Mike Soroka while buying some time for widely advertised winner of the role Bryse Wilson at the alternate site, Ynoa has quickly and quietly transformed into the team's most effective pitcher thus far. Ynoa has delivered 5-of-6 starts with at least 17 fantasy points and a Game Score of 64 or greater, with each of his past three worth 21-plus points. He has done it despite effectively relying on two pitches, a four-seam fastball and slider, each of which he throws at least 40% of the time, a combination that typically results in a wide righty/lefty split but with which the right-hander has somehow stymied left-handed hitters to the tune of .140/.173/.180 rates and a 26.9% strikeout rate.
