It’s days like Thursdays where we are thankful that FanDuel only requires us to pick one starting pitcher. The pickings are slim in this five game slate and the pitchers are mediocre at best. There is only one starter today that I have a high degree of confidence in and that is Nate Pearson ($7,500). As a Braves fan, I hate going against this offense, but facts are facts and the fact is, the Braves are striking out…a lot. As of this writing they have an 18 strikeout lead over the next closest team, the Mets. So, while the offense might be a little scary to face, the DFS bills are paid by way of the K and Pearson should end up with plenty. Ozzie Albies is out of the lineup now too, which gives me even more reason to like Pearson. Not to mention, when you see the other options, you may have to keep from laughing out loud.
