Thursday, May 30th

Happy Thursday, Grinders! I am giving Cheese a break today and will be here to break down today’s slate for you. We have a small three game afternoon slate today, and while we generally reserve the written breakdowns for slates with four or more games, I’ll give you a few quick thoughts on that early slate. There’s plenty to get to, so let’s get after it!

Early Slate Quick Hits

1) The most expensive pitcher on this three game slate is Jerad Eickhoff. There’s virtually no pitching to target, so be careful with playing too much on this slate.
