Today’s FanDuel Lineup Advice column will focus on an ugly looking five-game night slate on Thursday. The night slate is void of any ace pitchers, has a team (Orioles) that hasn’t announced their starting pitcher as of this writing, and has potential rain impact in both the Brewers/Cardinals and Mets/Braves games. As I said, “U-G-L-Y”.
As always, be sure to pay close attention to the lineups when they are released and monitor the weather leading up to game time. For reference throughout the season, be sure to bookmark our overview of MLB Park Factors and how to Use Weather to Your Advantage in MLB DFS.

Pitcher
Dan Straily (MIA): $8,300 @ TB
The last time Straily pitched against a team with a very high strikeout rate versus righties he rang up the Padres for 14 strikeouts. Thursday he gets a Rays’ team who matches the Padres in strikeout rate this season at 25.7% tied for the highest in the majors. Unlike the Padres, however, the Rays can hit a little bit against righties so temper your expectations some. That said, Straily is the top dog on Thursday night slate that is full of dogs.
