MLB Pitching Primer: Thursday, July 12th

Everything in the sport of baseball comes down to the hitter-versus-pitcher matchup – which makes pitching the most important element of MLB DFS play. Without an understanding of the best pitching plays on the day, your DFS efforts will be sunk! Each day, the Pitching Primer will provide you with some of the top pitching plays on the day – taking a close look at the “why” behind these picks, and helping you to identify pitchers others might overlook.

Thursday, July 12th

Hello Grinders. We have a nice little seven game main slate tonight. The good news is that the Coors game is on a two-game early slate, so we don’t have to worry about the shenanigans from that game. We have some really nice options to choose from, so let’s see if we can break it down.

Arms To Trust

Max Scherzer vs. New York Mets ($13,300 DK / $12,000 FD)
Blake Snell vs. Minnesota Twins ($11,700 DK / $10,500 FD)
