5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Studs to Target on 6/21/16
Noah Syndergaard takes on the Royals at pitcher-friendly Citi Field. What other high-priced players are worth the investment?

Corey Kluber, P, Cleveland Indians

FanDuel Price: $9,700

You know it’s one heck of a pitching day when Corey Kluber is the fifth-most expensive hurler. While Syndergaard and Fernandez figure to be heavily targeted -- not to mention Chris Sale and Johnny Cueto, who are also taking the mound today -- Kluber shapes up as an enticing option for tournaments.

Kluber has a 4.23 ERA, his worst mark since 2012, but he is not pitching nearly that poorly. Instead, he’s being stung by an unlucky 61.7% strand rate, the lowest clip of his career.

He takes on the Tampa Bay Rays this evening in a home start. The Rays own baseball’s second-worst strikeout rate (24.8%), and that has to be music to the ears of Kluber, who boasts a 24.9% strikeout rate, 12.1% swinging strike rate, 5.3% walk rate, and 3.38 SIERA. Tampa Bay’s implied total is 3.42 runs.
