We have a rare, extra-large Thursday slate today with the main FanDuel slate featuring eight games and the all day featuring fourteen. I guess MLB has realized that if they want this season to ever end, they may have to calm down on the off days. We’ll just be focusing on the main slate here and for that slate, I’m loving me some Dinelson Lamet ($9,400,) as a pivot from Shane Bieber (more on him later). Lament is the one pitcher on the board tonight I would peg to out-strikeout Bieber and he has the advantage of home field. The Rangers have MLB’s fourth worst team OPS. Them and the Marlins (who have played five fewer games) are tied for the fewest homers hit with just seventeen (Discounting the Cardinals of course, who have played eleven games and hit twelve homers and I think are still an MLB team?). Lament has K’s for days, sporting an 11.4 K/9 and while the 1.59 ERA is a tad lucky compared to the 2.79 FIP, it’s nothing to shake a stick at and I think he’ll be just fine tonight.
