5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Studs to Target on 6/28/16
Corey Kluber, P, Cleveland Indians
FanDuel Price: $10,800
Ideally, we want our FanDuel pitchers to have a combination of a great matchup, high floor, and immense upside. Corey Kluber can make a case for all three areas tonight.
With a career-high 49.1 percent ground ball rate, Kluber has developed into a high-floor fantasy option. His strikeout numbers also provide safety, as he’s struck out six or more batters in all but two starts this season.
And while he may never run off a streak of games during which he strikes out double-digit batters, his upside is present because of his ability to limit his pitch count and work deep into games -- he’s already thrown three complete games in 2016 .
He’ll face the Braves tonight, one of the best matchups in baseball. Atlanta is last in the league versus right-handed pitching with a .106 ISO and 29th in wOBA at .286.
As a -170 Vegas favorite, Kluber is a great cash game option.
