You don't need me to tell you how good Clayton Kershaw is.

But is he worth 36.5 percent of your salary cap on FanDuel tonight? In cash games, the answer, to me, is unequivocally yes.

Kershaw is as consistent as they come. Just take a look at how many times he's reached the following thresholds since the beginning of the 2015 season:

-- Seven or more strikeouts: 30 of 35 starts (85.7 percent)

-- Seven or more innings pitched: 24 of 35 starts (68.6 percent)

-- Allowed two or fewer earned runs: 24 of 35 starts (68.6 percent)

There are enough value bats on tonight's slate that fitting Kershaw into your lineup won't be a problem. And despite the tough matchup with Madison Bumgarner, Vegas still lists Kershaw as a -165 favorite.
