The Thursday slate of games is a small one.  There are four games in the afternoon and five games in the evening.  This playboook is abbreviated for just the evening slate as per usual.  We don't cover afternoon slates of 4 games or less.  There will be optimal lineups for the evening slate.  With the small night slate, I will try to post a GPP lineup for the afternoon for PRO subscribers if time is available to do so.

With the short slate of games, the pitching is ugly.  In most slates, Jon Lester would be a much better option but he has a tough match-up in Miami against the Marlins who have hit lefties very well.  Lester is still the best option obut that is only because the rest is garbage.  This slate is a tournamant slate.  I will provide you a cash lineup but I do recommend that you keep the amount of play low.  This is really a tournament slate where you take some shots but don't go crazy.
