Today is “Get Away” day in major league baseball so that means a smaller MLB DFS slate than usual. Thursday is usually a smaller schedule across the baseball as teams get ready to travel to their weekend series destinations. This afternoon we have a small four-game slate on FanDuel and DraftKings plus an all-day on Yahoo Fantasy locking at 1:10 pm ET. Chris Bassitt and Clayton Kershaw are going to head to head so even though they are the top arms of the slate they will be left for GPP territory. Logan Gilbert will be a popular cash arm and we will see the MLB debut of Kenneth Waldichuk of the A's.  The White Sox are the only team with an implied offense of over five runs so they will be popular as well as the Mariners and rookie sensation Julio Rodríguez. Make sure to check the MLB Weather Center because there are always pop up storm worries in the summer, MLB Vegas odds and the MLB Lineups page to get confirmed lineups for tonight. To get projections and to build multiple lineups we have MLB Projections and an MLB Lineup Generator plus check out the Fantasy Alarm MLB tools page. Now let's get to it and here are my top plays for Thursday afternoon.
