Who’s ready for some more Thirsty Thursday DFS? Tommy Edman (2B: $2,600) sure is. He’s riding a nice hot streak and that’s a train you should climb aboard. Tickets aren’t too expensive and the tracks look clear ahead. As a bonus he can also slot into an outfield spot if you would prefer that. He’s a top 10 hitter today but you aren’t paying him like one. Full steam ahead.

Shane Bieber, SP: $11,300 – Feels like taking to easy way out to recommend Biebs. DFS is about finding value and he’s the most expensive pitcher there is. But you can’t ignore that his projection puts him as the best pitching option by a country mile.
Pablo Lopez, SP: $8,900 – By now, we know that Pablo has the raw stuff to rack up points. After all, he’s put up multiple strong starts this season. He’s a go against a Phillies team that is missing a star and finds itself in the bottom third in runs and dongs and right at the top in strikeouts.
Shane McLanahan, SP: $6,900 – That price is nice. You know what else is nice? The 10.5 K/9. Unfortunately the Royals don’t swing and miss too often but they don’t score a ton of runs either.
Paul Goldschmidt C/1B: $2,800 – Goldy is quietly putting together a nice little points streak the last several days. He may not be the flashy star, but points are points.
Pavin Smith, C/1B: $2,700 – Projections look good and the price isn’t too steep. That makes him a solid piece for your roster today.
Nick Solak, 2B: $2,800 – I like what he’s been doing this season with flashes of power making him capable of a blow up game. Today’s match up sets him up nicely for another strong outing.
Nolan Arenado, 3B: $3,200 – I was down on him going into the season with the move out of Coors but his numbers have still been excellent. The power is still there and he’s proving just how wrong I was for doubting him.
Alec Bohm, 3B: $2,300 – Sadly, it hasn’t been Bohms away this season but the bot gives him a favorable grade today and he comes with a bargain price.
Fernando Tatis Jr, SS: $4,700 – Oh boy, is his salary expensive, but gosh darn it, he’s worth it. So sit back and enjoy the show.
Amed Rosario, SS: $2,800 – If you would prefer a less expensive option at short, consider Rosario. He doesn’t offer the ceiling of some of the top options but he’s in the midst of a nice stretch at the plate makes for a solid option today.
Tommy Pham, OF: $2,900 – He could be one of major steals today. He’s heating up and is primed to continue getting his season numbers back to respectable levels.
Bryan Reynolds, OF: $3,000 – Not Ryan Reynolds has really gotten things going in the month of May and will look to continue that trend in a match up that shouldn’t scare you away.
Jordan Luplow, OF: $2,900 – Yikes that average is atrocious. Fortunately he’s still managed to flash some power despite his struggles. Projections look good so you should consider him for your line up even if you don’t feel good about it.
I’m Only Happy When It Rains
The best part about summer baseball is that the weather heats up, the ball starts flying and we can look forward to clear skies. Unfortunately, we’re not quite there yet with rain potentially impacting the Orioles and White Sox.
Doing Lines In Vegas
Vegas agrees with the bot that you’ll want bats from the Cards and D-Backs today. That’s music to my ears so stack away. And if you’re so inclined to throw some money on the game itself just remember, life is too short to bet the under.
