I’m tall, so I can make fun of short people, it’s fun. But in MLB DFS I always prefer the big slates, however this one … This one here … This special six pack we have today on this random Thursday in late July. Oh boy, this one is special. On the mound for the Dodgers, it’s the best they have, the return of Clayton Kershaw making his debut for the 2024 season. In a 90 degree day game out in L.A. We have Patrick Corbin who is just ITCHING. I mean, ITCHING, to end his season here soon and coming off a really good start. Max Scherzer is also on the bump, and also looking for a new home. There’s Kenta Maeda getting a start again. Corbin Burnes in south beach and Chris Bassitt against the Lefties Lowe’s in Toronto. Boys and Girls. This one, it’s a good one. WEATHER All clear CORBIN BURNES (DK: $9500, FD: $10.7k) While the entire Orioles lineup is either really hungover from last night in South Beach or so young that they can still play through it I trust that Burnes was resting peacefully last night and is ready to take over the reigns finally and put to bed any questions about the Baltimore rotation. MAX SCHERZER (DK: $8600, FD: $9300) I trust that the White Sox are more done than Max is right now. GAVIN WILLIAMS (DK: $7800) Gavin Williams is probably chalky because he should not get hit hard by the Tigers. Not a bad pivot off Max IMO. Also do not mind: Taj Bradley I’m just gonna say that I like about 80% of the offenses today, making this a perfect one off slate in my eyes. But sure, go ahead and focus on building around stacks if you want. GIANTS Wilmer Flores, Jorge Soler, Matt Chapman Welcome back Kershaw. Love you. You are one of the best pitchers in the history of the game. You’re also not fooling anyone today and giving up some hard contact in what is nothing more than a Spring Training start. This day game in L.A. is going to make that Coors game yesterday look like nothing.
