BEAST DOME NATION.

In case you have been living under a rock, Thursday Night is the big night in Fantasy Baseball on BEAST DOME. Hedge Fund is off to a good start. DraftKings split with the double-up barely taking it. Our two Parlays won last night, thanks to a huge performance by Pablo Lopez the cover athlete for the Hedge yesterday. Most impressive at all you will see below.

THURSDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

ORIOLES @ YANKEES

Severino has been bipolar on the mound. You never know what you are going to get out of him, he is capable of pitching a good game, but these Orioles bats can definitely get some big hits. Severino has unfavorable odds coming off of his last start where he got shelled by the Cardinals. Nothing is impossible, but not likely good for his fantasy day.

Kyle Braddish is starting to find his own, but this is a Yankees team that is hitting the ball a lot better than they were a month ago. Braddish has been pretty dominant which does go nicely in his favor, but giving up a HR with runners on base is the difference between a great start and an average start at best. With this Yankees lineup, that can happen multiple times.

ORIOLES 5

YANKEES 4

ROYALS @ GUARDIANS

Lyles broke his streak last game of being 0-11 and the Royals not winning any game that he pitched in. Tonight he faces an Indians lineup that can definitely hit him. Lyles will have trouble getting through the chunk of the lineup. Lyles should be out of MLB before the season is over, it was a good run in his career while it lasted.

Bibee has been the new Bieber for the Indians. Royals lineup is no slouch, but he is definitely capable of pitching a good game and getting through it easily. Indians have won his last three starts, and they will need to make that four if they want a serious shot of being in the playoffs. Look for Bibee to pitch a good game against a team that just got killed by Pablo Lopez

ROYALS 2

INDIANS 6

RANGERS @ RED SOX

Eovaldi has had a great year, but he also has not had a matchup like this one in Boston. Not only is it Eovladi’s former team, but this Red Sox lineup can hit the mistake pitch. Look for Eovaldi to be in a lot of trouble throughout the game, nothing will come easy, and I would say the odds are not in his favor.

Kutter Crawford will have a fun day watching his ERA balloon up. Rangers bats can definitely hit him, and they can hit him out of the ball park. Look for Texas to be putting on the heat throughout this game.

TEXAS 8

RED SOX 5

MARINERS @ HOUSTON

George Kirby is good, but he is not unhittable. On the road against an Astros squad that has seen him from the days he was a baby to the days he is now, they know what to expect. Stros are hitting the ball right now, this is no walk in the park. Kirby is capable of pitching a strong game, but he has to be on tonight. That curve ball is going to have to be curving.

Blanco must be Spanish for “Average Pitcher at Best.” Blanco is very hittable and has never escaped from a game looking like a dominant pitcher. Mariners will be able to put hitters on base, and that could result into a lot of easy runs for the Mariners, it all depends how he pitches out of trouble.

MARINERS 6

ASTROS 4

METS @ DBACKS

Cookie Cutter Carrasco is capable of throwing a good starts against the DBacks. While Arizona has had a great first half of the season, this team is not playing as well as they did a month ago. This is still no easy start as Carrasco is not the most reliable pitcher, but he is capable of pitching a good game.

Ryne Nelson is not that good of a pitcher, and the DBacks really need to trade for a better one if they are going to make a run for the playoffs. Look for this to be the start where the DBacks finally realize that. Mets lineup can hit him throughout.

METS 7

DBACKS 3

PIRATES @ DODGERS

Johan Oviedo who has been looking great, looked awful. There are times his fastball is too straight, and these Dodgers hitters can catch up to it. Oviedo had a good run, but this performance will leave a sour taste with back 2 back bad starts before the All-Star Break.

Julio Urias has not looked like himself all year, and he really did not look like himself coming off of an injury in his last start. These Pirates hitters can hit right now, and Urias cannot blow his pitches by these bats. Urias is no way in line for an easy start, but he is capable of showing he still has his good stuff.
