The relatively light set of evening Major League Baseball games includes just five matchups, but there are still plenty of opportunities for building winning MLB DFS lineups on Thursday. One of which is the Pirates‘ series-opener against the New York Mets following Pittsburgh’s 10-run performance against Cincinnati on Wednesday. Pirates designated hitter Rodolfo Castro hit a three-run home run and plated four in the 10-4 win against the Reds and has been one of his team’s hottest hitters as of late.
Castro is on a seven-game hitting streak in which he has two doubles, three homers and eight RBI. Pittsburgh will face pitcher Carlos Carrasco on the mound, who has been up-and-down since August, so perhaps there are other Pirates worth stacking with Castro in the MLB DFS player pool.
