Another weird Thursday has all of the baseball games split up into multiple slates. This article will focus on the “All Day” slate, which includes all 10 games taking place. There are plenty of pitching options available this Thursday, including top-tier aces who will be hard to fade. As usual, however, there are some pretty awful starters taking the mound who will need to be stacked against. Let’s take a deeper dive into today’s full set of games to find the best DFS options.

Trevor Bauer (CLE): $10,800 vs. BAL
Emerging as one of the league’s top hurlers, Trevor Bauer is set to host the struggling Orioles. Owning a .239 batting average, the O’s also have generated just an 87 wRC+. They strike out over 23% of the time and will face one of the toughest tests this year. Meanwhile, Bauer comes into this game with a 29.9% K rate and 3.91 SIERA. His strikeout rate is elite, sure. But what makes the Indians’ ace such a great DFS option is the leash he has been given. Bauer has thrown over 100 pitches in eight of his nine starts, including two games with over 120 pitches. He is always a threat to throw a complete game, especially considering how poor Cleveland’s bullpen has performed.
