Welcome to the DFS MLB Playbook for Thursday, June 8th

 

Here we are again, another Thursday around MLB and we have a 12-game all day slate to bring you up to speed on. We’ll have four early games and eight in the main slate. So, we’ll sprinkle in a few early options here on the Playbook for you early birds and focus mainly on that main night slate.

 

One common theme I noticed when doing the pitchers research this time around is that so many of them are coming off of a rough outing. Even Lance McCullers had his first one of the year against the Rangers last time out. Michael Pineda was hit around by the Blue Jays and Derek Holland was nothing short of a disaster in Detroit. You’ll see all three of those names in the Playbook. One guy that didn’t have a bad outing last time out is Edinson Volquez. More on him later as well.

 

We are going to choose to fade Jon Lester against the Rockies as there is more of a prolonged slump going on there. He’s walking too many and hasn’t been getting the ground balls as the pace we’ve become accustomed to seeing. Sure, he could return to form and throw a CG/SHO but against the Rockies-  who have some lefty-mashers in their lineup - we’re betting against it. Same with Gerrit Cole. He’s allowed three homers in his last two outings and there is something wrong there. We’re staying away.

 

For the second straight day, we aren’t seeing anything in the weather forecasts across the home park cities today. Keep an eye on the Weather Center in case anything changes.
