Pitcher

Clayton Kershaw (LAD): $12,200 vs. TOR
Many people questioned Kershaw coming into the year, but he’s been absolutely superb in a bounce-back season. What’s truly amazing is his consistency, with Kershaw throwing at least six innings in all 21 of his starts. That equates to a 2.63 ERA and 1.00 WHIP, which is vintage Kershaw. He’s at his best right now, attaining a 1.40 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and 11.7 K/9 rate over his last seven outings. The star southpaw will also face a Toronto offense that ranks 28th in OBP, 23rd in OPS, and 23rd in wOBA. This is why Kershaw enters this matchup as a -300 favorite.

Catcher/First Base

Eric Thames (MIL): $3,300 at STL
Thames has been undervalued on FanDuel all season long because of his platoon status. He’s done nothing but kill right-handers since joining the Brewers, which is evident by his .884 OPS against them since the start of 2017. That’s especially encouraging against Michael Wacha, who’s pitching to a 5.44 ERA and 1.63 WHIP this season. Thames is rolling right now, too, posting a .915 OPS over his last 10 games. Hitting in the heart of the Rays’ order, former platoon partner Jesus Aguilar is also a fantastic option for $2,700.
