Welcome to the MLB DFS Playbook for Thursday's main slate contests.

Just a seven-game slate tonight, but I'm digging a lot of the hitting match-ups, for sure. The pitching? Meh. I don't love it. Paying up for pitching has been a nightmare this season as the starters haven't been consistent enough to fully rely on and the bargain bats are even more sketchy. I'll still try to pay down for starters when setting up my lineups because in this juiced-ball era we're currently in, the bats have been what has pushed us over the cash lines more often than not.

Here are my favorties, and be sure to read the blurbs as you just might see a few names in there who are alos worth exploring.
