FanDuel DFS Pitchers
Luis Severino - P, at PHI ($10,600)
Severino has been enjoying an elite season, posting an 11-2 record with a 2.24 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. He also owns a 10.6 K/9 through 104.2 innings. Severino will be be throwing in a hitter friendly stadium, but the Philadelphia Phillies have struggled at times this season. Severino is currently a -201 favorite in a game set at only 7.5 runs, and he can be used in all leagues.
Freddy Peralta - P, vs KC ($7,700)
Peralta has only started three games this season, but he has looked outstanding in those games. He currently boasts a 2-0 record with a 2.30 ERA and a 0.89 ERA. He has displayed tremendous strikeout potential, recording 25 strikeouts through 15.2 innings. He gets a great matchup against the Kansas City Royals, and Peralta is a -208 favorite in a game set at 8 runs. He's a great salary relief option tonight.
FanDuel DFS Infielders
Eric Thames - C/1B, vs KC ($3,900)
Thames has been a more consistent and a more powerful hitter at home this season. He has also been a significantly better option against right-handed pitching, possessing 0.185 wOBA and 0.266 ISO differentials against righties. He gets a solid matchup against Jake Junis tonight, and Thames makes a high upside tournament option.
Jason Kipnis - 2B, at STL ($3,100)

Hernandez is an option that can safely be used in all leagues for his current price tag.
