This Saturday brings us a nine-game slate on DraftKings. There is the always-exciting game in Colorado versus St. Louis plus several aces to choose between tonight. Let’s dive into my favorite plays.

Pitcher
Corey Kluber (CLE): $11,000 @ KC
Kluber (-288) will be the anchor of my cash games on this slate. He’s priced lower than Justin Verlander $12,900 and Clayton Kershaw $11,800 to give you a little savings and he’s certainly in the best matchup of the big three. I personally like his chances to go deeper into the game than the other two guys. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll have some exposure in tournaments, but for the best play on the board, it’s Klubot against the putrid Royals offense. We love picking on the Royals, arguably the worst MLB club out there against right-handed pitching. Depending on how you weigh data, they are the worst and therefore, probably the main reason the ownership will be high on Kluber tonight. Chalk or not, I’ll be overweight on him this evening.
