Wednesday’s DraftKings Lineup Advice will focus in on the eight-game night slate. The big question on Wednesday’s slate is do you pay up for Clayton Kershaw? His salary is high but the matchup is good and the rest of the higher-priced pitching options face each other with Jon Lester going against Trevor Bauer and Zack Greinke squaring off against Jake Arrieta. You will also need to find a cheap pitcher to pair Kershaw with and some value bats if you want to go that route. So, the first decision you need to make is “to Kershaw or not to Kershaw”.
As always, be sure to pay close attention to the lineups when they are released and monitor the weather leading up to game time.
