There are plenty of pitching options available this Thursday, including top-tier aces who will be hard to fade.

Trevor Bauer (CLE): $11,400 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+.
