Cleveland Indians (Kluber) at Arizona Diamondbacks (Anderson)
Kluber’s strikeout rate has slowed down a bit but he’s faced the Tigers and Royals in two of his last four starts (both bottom-5 in the MLB in strikeout rate) with Boston for the other two (slightly below-average strikeout rate). He gets the Diamondbacks, who are 20th and should provide more strikeout problems. I’ll stay away for tonight. I love Kipnis’ price tonight, too.
Jason Kipnis (2B) – $4836
Lonnie Chisenhall (3B) – $6163
Anderson is a pass. He’s performed pretty well but he has been homer prone and the Indians are arguably the best-hitting team in baseball against righties. There aren’t many hitters I like against Kluber tonight so I’ll probably just avoid the D’Backs.
