DraftKings MLB Lineup Advice: Monday (6/18)

We’ve got a nine-game featured slate on DraftKings this Monday night. Coors Field is in play, but NYM @ COL has a 9.5 O/U, which is relatively low for a Coors Field game. That’s because Jacob deGrom is taking the hill for the Mets, and the Mets hitters aren’t too formidable even in the best hitter’s park in baseball. TEX @ KC also comes in with a 9.5 O/U, and no other game is above 8.5.

Pitchers

Trevor Bauer (CLE): $12,400 vs. CWS
Bauer has scored fewer than 23 points once since May 11th and has gone over 30 points in four of his last six starts. At age 27 Bauer is finally putting it all together with a 2.69 ERA, 2.31 FIP, and 11.63 K/9. He gets a favorable matchup against the White Sox at home today. The White Sox have a .308 wOBA and 25% strikeout rate against right-handed pitching as a team this season. For top starting pitching it’s a toss-up between Bauer and Gerrit Cole ($13,000 vs. TB), but since Bauer is slightly cheaper and in a slightly better matchup he is the preferred option on this slate, though both are fine options at the top.
