With the addition of weekday “day game” slates to DailyOverlay, I will try to write a “Quick Picks” article for early slates that includes just the players without the writeups to give you some options. So, let’s get to it for Thursday’s afternoon (early) slate. Look for the Consensus article for the early slate to come out about an hour before first pitch.
