DraftKings DFS Players
SP Clayton Kershaw, LAD: $15,800
Kershaw is by far the most expensive player on tonight's slate, but he's completely worth the price as a guy to build your lineups around. Kershaw is coming off of a magnificent start against the Braves in the NLDS where he threw eight shutout innings with just two hits allowed. If Kershaw is able to go deep into this start, he can easily outscore any other player.
OF Matt Kemp, LAD: $7,000
With a lefty on the mound in Gio Gonzalez, it's a smart idea to take advantage of the platoon bats that Los Angeles has. Kemp posted a 124 wRC+ against southpaws and will be batting fifth for the Dodgers, a spot where he can rack up RBIs.
OF/SS Chris Taylor, LAD: $7,300
Every plate appearance is extremely valuable when you've only got one game to choose from. That's why I like Taylor as the Dodgers leadoff man, as it guarantees he will get lots of chances to produce. He is also in a great spot to score runs.
1B/OF Cody Bellinger, LAD: $9,200
It's no surprise that I'm primarily recommending Dodgers hitters - Gio Gonzalez is clearly the pitcher to target with his 4.73 SIERA in 2018. Gonzalez is likely to give up some runs in an extreme hitter's park in Milwaukee, and Bellinger has a ton of power that makes him attractive in GPPs.
3B Mike Moustakas, MIL: $5,400
If you're going to go with Brewers bats, find the cheap ones. Moose is basically at punt-level cost with this price even though he's batting fifth for Milwaukee.
