Dallas Keuchel, SP, Houston Astros

FanDuel Price: $9,500

On an absolutely loaded pitching slate, I'm not sure what Dallas Keuchel has done that would make you want to roster him over Chris Sale, Max Scherzer, or Clayton Kershaw, among others.

Keuchel's 53.9% ground-ball rate is his lowest since his rookie season back in 2012, and the same goes for his 8.8% swinging-strike rate. And his 27.6% hard-hit rate is above his career 25.0% rate.

Keuchel's SIERA sits at 4.00, and his low strikeout upside (17.8% strikeout rate) makes him a really capped pitching play in DFS formats. To make matters even worse, tonight's opponent, the Texas Rangers, rank eighth in wOBA against left-handed pitching, with a .325 mark. With so many other options, Keuchel is an easy avoid.
