DraftKings DFS Starting Pitchers

Brad Keller - P, KC vs. PIT ($6,800) 

Keller has slowed down a bit after a great start, allowing four or more runs in two of his last three outings, but this is a good matchup against a Pirates offense that has only scored 24 runs in their last eight games (3 runs per game). While the strikeout upside is limited (17.1 K%), Keller should be able to take care of this weak lineup.

Sixto Sanchez - P, MIA vs. PHI ($6,200)

It's hard to believe that the electrifying Marlins' rookie is priced so cheaply on DraftKings, but here we are. Sanchez has absolutely dominated so far this year, posting a 26.6 K% with only a 2.1 BB%. While it's a tough matchup against a red-hot Phillies lineup that has scored 32 runs in their last four games (8 runs per game), this value is too good to pass up.

DraftKings DFS Infielders

Gary Sanchez - C, NYY vs. BAL ($4,500)

Sanchez has been a disappointment this season, slashing .130/.242/.330, but his power upside makes him worth the look against LHP John Means, who has allowed an absurd 3.12 HR/9.

Luke Voit - 1B, NYY vs. BAL ($5,400)

Voit is having a great season, slashing .277/.343/.613 with 16 home runs. This is a great matchup against Means, so we'll make Voit the core play of our Yankees stack.

Whit Merrifield - 2B, KC vs. PIT ($4,600)

Merrifield is swinging a hot bat lately, going 9-for-22 (.409) with six runs, two homers, and two RBI in his last five games. He has a good matchup against RHP Chad Kuhl, who has struggled with command (13 walks in his last four starts).

Maikel Franco - 3B, KC vs. PIT ($4,200)

Franco adds to our Royals stack and gives us a power threat at third base. He has hit safely in nine of his last ten games, including one home run and 11 RBI during that span. As the cleanup hitter, he could have some opportunities to drive home Merrifield, who bats leadoff.

Adalberto Mondesi - SS, KC vs. PIT ($3,100)

Mondesi is absolutely on fire right now, going 12-for-35 (.343) with nine runs, four homers, 11 RBI, and eight stolen bases in his last nine games. That's a crazy stretch that is helping make up for a lengthy slump that previously characterized his season. Mondesi is an auto-play here.

DraftKings DFS Outfielders

Christian Yelich - OF, MIL vs. CHC ($5,500)

Yelich has struggled this season, slashing .203/.337/.439, but he has a good matchup against RHP Alec Mills, who has allowed four or more runs in four of his last six starts. Yelich still has 97th-percentile exit velocity this year, so it's only a matter of time for another hot streak.

Eloy Jimenez - OF, CHW vs.  ($5,300)

Eloy has gone 12-for-35 (.343) with five runs, one homer, and eight RBI in his last ten games. He should be able to keep it going against RHP Spencer Turnbull, who has been inconsistent this season.

Clint Frazier - OF, NYY vs. BAL ($4,400)

Frazier completes our Yankees stack against John Means. He's been solid this season, slashing .270/.383/.517 with five home runs, so he's worth the look at a reasonable price.
