Pitcher
Clayton Kershaw (LAD): $10,900 vs. PIT
Kershaw is the most expensive pitcher on this slate, but he also has the best blend floor/ceiling potential of any fantasy arm. This is a green light matchup as well, facing a Pittsburgh offense that ranks 25th in wRC+ (75) to begin the season. As a result, Kershaw checks in as a heavy -215 home favorite while making for a great DFS option through all formats. You should be able to acquire his cumbersome salary by taking the hitting recommendations below.
Other Pitchers to consider: Jon Gray (COL), Jaime Barria (LAA)
