MLB DFS Picks and Player Props for Thursday's Slate

The MLB DFS main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel for Thursday includes six games, beginning at 7:15 p.m. ET. Player props from Underdog are also derived from these matchups.

Pitcher Tarik Skubal has performed well since joining the Dodgers, with a notable strikeout rate against left-handed batters. Despite a challenging matchup against the Cardinals, the Dodgers are favored at -280 with a total of 7.5 runs. Logan Henderson faces a tough challenge against the Cubs, who lead in wRC+ against righties, while the Brewers are slight favorites at -115.

Rookie Kade Anderson, selected third overall in the 2025 MLB Draft, has shown promise in the minors but is still adjusting to the majors. He faces the Athletics, who struggle against left-handed pitching. The Dodgers are also set to face rookie Quinn Mathews, who has had mixed results in his early MLB career. Kevin Gausman has had a rough patch recently, but his underlying metrics suggest potential for improvement.
