FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Corey Kluber - P, vs KC ($11,200)

Kluber has been playing at an elite level this season, recording a 5-2 record, 2.62 ERA, and 0.81 WHIP through eight starts. He also features eight quality starts this season. He gets a great matchup against a weak Kansas City offense, and he comes with tremendous strikeout potential. He's also a -260 favorite in a game set at 8 runs today.

Sean Newcomb - P, at MIA ($8,300)

Newcomb has quietly been enjoying a great season. He currently possesses a 3-1 record with a 2.88 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. He also has four quality starts this season. He gets an elite matchup against the Miami Marlins in an extremely pitcher friendly stadium. He should see plenty of run support today, and he's a -136 favorite in a game set at only 8 runs.

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Francisco Cervelli - C/1B, vs SF ($3,200)

Cervelli is leading off today, which gives him added value. He gets a great matchup against Derek Holland, who has struggled with home runs this season, and Cervelli is a more powerful option against left-handed pitching. He also features a dominant 52% hard-hit rate over the last 15 days. He will see extra at-bats in this game, making him an elite option for a relatively low price tag.

Joe Wendle - 2B, at BAL ($2,400)

This is somewhat simple. Wendle features a hard-hit rate of 50% over the last 15 days, suggesting he is hitting the ball well. He gets a matchup against Dylan Bundy, who has the highest hard-hit rate and exit velocity allowing over the last 15 days. Wendle will also be playing in a hitter friendly stadium, adding to his value today.

Jose Ramirez - 3B, vs KC ($4,400)

Ramirez has been playing at a high level recently. He's coming off a bad game, but he was able to score between 18 and 41 fantasy points in six of his eight games prior to that. He has been an elite option at home this season, and Danny Duffy has struggled to keep the ball in the park. Ramirez comes with tremendous power, and he's an elite option on this slate.

Francisco Lindor - SS, vs KC ($4,600)

Lindor may be the hottest hitter in all of baseball over his last 10 games. He has scored double digit fantasy points in nine of those games, and this is another matchup he can take advantage of. He isn't known for being an elite power hitter, but he has displayed tremendous power recently. He's leading off for what should be one of the top offenses on the slate, and he can be used in all leagues.

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Mookie Betts - OF, at TOR ($4,900)

There are a ton of salary relief options on the slate today, which means it is somewhat easy to get Betts into your lineups. He has been playing at an absurd level recently, scoring double digit fantasy points in four of his last five games. He has also flashed 60 fantasy points upside, and he gets another good matchup today. He's an elite option.

Brandon Guyer - OF, vs KC ($2,200)

Guyer is a lefty specialist for the Indians. He currently holds 0.152 wOBA and 0.122 ISO differentials against left-handed pitching, and he's surprisingly hitting fifth in the lineup. Danny Duffy has struggled against righties at times throughout his career, and Guyer makes an elite option because of his low price tag and this matchup.
