Corey Kluber, P, Cleveland Indians

Price: $11,000

Corey Kluber reportedly didn't show any issues in a bullpen session this weekend after suffering a mild ankle sprain in his last start. So, his health doesn't look like it will be a concern tonight.

Before that injury-shortened outing, Kluber had at least 8 strikeouts in 14 straight starts, hitting double digits in 11 of those games. He also has an absolutely absurd 37.6% strikeout rate and 17.8% swinging-strike rate in seven starts since the All-Star break. Even a matchup with the Boston Red Sox, who strike out at a bottom-five rate against righties, isn't enough to take away his fantasy upside.

Boston also ranks bottom-10 in wRC+ against righties, and their 3.24 implied total is Wednesday's lowest mark, leaving Kluber with a strong floor for production.
