Thursday’s here at Fantasy Alarm means another Boom Fantasy breakdown! We’ve been breaking down the MLB Main Slates for the last few weeks and we’re going to continue that trend today!

The first question on tonight’s Main Slate is between Ryan Zimmerman and Corey Dickerson who will have more hits? All you have to do is look at who each player is matched up with and you should have a good idea on why Zimmerman is the favorite. Although Dickerson has to face off against Chris Sale, neither he nor Zimmerman has been tearing the cover off of the ball laetely. Dickerson is two for his last 21 while Zimmerman is 3-for-18 over their last seven days respectively.

We stick with most hits, but expand the question to four players. These players include Jose Altuve, who overthrew Aaron Judge for the AL lead in batting average last night before being overthrown by Ben Gamel in the late night hammer, Jose Ramirez, Ender Inciarte and Evan Longoria. Altuve is the favorite and for good reason, as he’s playing on the road which is awful news for his opponent. He hits .392 on the road compared to .285 at home. With that said, all you BvP guys will love the fact that Inciarte is 9-for-17 (.529) off of Gio Gonzalez, so that could be a sneaky much less owned way to go.

Moving on to guys who drive in a lot of runs, we have George Springer, Bryce Harper, Andrew Benintendi and Brandon Phillips competing for most RBI. Phillips is very obviously the underdog as he has the fewest RBI out of the bunch. Benintendi will also likely be overlooked but over his the last seven days, he’s driven in 10 runs, so it’s safe to say he’s on fire. Springer has four home runs and nine RBI over his last 10 games, so he’s always a threat and not to mention he has a nice matchup against the lefty Francisco Liriano.

Just like last week, we’d like you to understand if a player that is listed as questionable in the question and he doesn’t play, the question is voided. That being said, unlike last week, Carlos Correa is listed as questionable and should be able to play. Correa himself said he could have played last night but the Astros are clearly going to be cautious with their star shortstop especially with how many games they’re ahead in the standings. Daniel Murphy is your question’s favorite, as he should be in a juicy matchup against Mike Foltynewicz who struggles to retire lefties. If Correa plays he’s obviously a great option as he’s fifth in the AL in RBI, while Wil Myers and Jackie Bradley Jr. are GPP type darts.

For question five, we need to break down the outlying numbers to figure out how many extra-base knocks Mookie Betts will have on Thursday. First off, he has a tough matchup against a good young pitcher in Jacob Faria. Thing is, the Rays bullpen stinks so if Faria doesn’t last very long on Thursday, Betts’ chances at an XBH grow exponentially. His splits are eerily similar, as he doesn’t hit righties or lefties significantly better from one side in particular, he just rakes against everyone. He does, however, only have one-multi extra-base hit games since June 15, so take that with a grain of salt.

If this question were asked last season, we would tell you there is a great chance that Justin Smoak puts up a huge number of total bases against road Lance McCullers, but 2017 is a new year. And although Smoak has been scorching hot at home on the road and even if he was playing on Mars, McCullers looks different this year. After posting an ERA close to six on the road last season, he’s cut that in half as it sits at 3.12 to date. Smoak also has hit lefties much better this year, so proceed with caution when deciding upon your answer.

As always, the last two questions of the eight-piece set are about pitching and boy do we have a nice pitching slate for Thursday! First we must tackle how many punch-out’s we think Chris Sale will have. Sale has posted a league best 12.4 K/9 thus far and the Rays have struck out more than any other team in baseball. This has disaster written all over it for the Rays and we could see something really special on Thursday. Next, we have Lance McCullers who we briefly touched on last paragraph. Although his home K/9 is higher, McCullers still bolsters a 26.9-percent K-rate on the year. His O/U is set at seven, which could be a tad low seeing how much the Jays strike out.
