MLB Daily Fantasy Primer: Thursday (9/9)

The Thursday night main slate is tiny, featuring only four games on FanDuel. However, it’s slightly different on DraftKings, featuring another game, starting with the Mets at the Marlins at 6:40 PM ET.

Thursday's Starting Pitcher Strategy

Jose Berrios is the closest to an ace on tonight's slate, and he's not in that tier. Rather than forcing it with him in a less-than-ideal matchup, I prefer Ranger Suarez as the top option in a cushy matchup. Huascar Ynoa's nipping at his heels for top-pitcher honors. He's a more talented pitcher, yet his fantasy-friendly matchup isn't quite as delectable as Suarez's. Finally, John Means is my preferred GPP target.
