MLB Fantasy Baseball Insights and Betting Strategies for Thursday

Comprehensive guide for MLB fantasy baseball and betting on Thursday.

Pitchers to Stream on Thursday Baltimore Orioles RHP Dean Kremer is just above the threshold for his road start against the Minnesota Twins. However, the Twins' offense has been below average against right-handed pitching, but they have recently returned some key players. Tampa Bay RHP Ryan Pepiot is in a similar situation, facing a Philadelphia Phillies lineup that has a below-average home run rate but still poses a threat. Boston Red Sox RHP Brayan Bello is a prime example where upside could make him a streaming option.

Pitchers to Avoid on Thursday Kansas City Royals LHP Kris Bubic's projection is slightly below the threshold, but he's showing improvement. On the other hand, RHP Brandon Pfaadt should be avoided due to a dangerous home matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Best and Worst Matchups for Pitchers The best matchups include Kansas City Royals pitchers vs. White Sox hitters, Baltimore Orioles pitchers vs. Twins hitters, and Atlanta Braves pitchers vs. Reds hitters. The worst matchups are Colorado Rockies pitchers vs. Tigers hitters (Game 2), Arizona Diamondbacks pitchers vs. Dodgers hitters, and Tampa Bay Rays pitchers vs. Phillies hitters.

Hitters to Stream on Thursday With two games at Coors Field, players from the Colorado Rockies and Detroit Tigers are priorities. Zach McKinstry is a main target for the Tigers.

Best and Worst Matchups for Hitters The best matchups for hitters include Colorado Rockies batters vs. Tigers pitchers (Game 2), Detroit Tigers batters vs. Rockies pitchers (Game 2), and Colorado Rockies RHB vs. Tigers pitchers (Game 1). The worst matchups are Baltimore Orioles RHB vs. Twins pitchers, Arizona Diamondbacks LHB vs. Dodgers pitchers, and Cincinnati Reds RHB vs. Braves pitchers.
