Dallas Keuchel, SP, Houston Astros

FanDuel Price: 10,500

Dallas Keuchel will be activated from the disabled list to start today's matchup against the Detroit Tigers.

It's his first game since June 2nd, and the Houston Astros could have a tight leash on him as Keuchel only worked a total of eight innings across a pair of minor league rehab starts.

In addition to that, the matchup with the Tigers is a rough one. Simply put: Nobody is hitting the ball harder than Detroit.

For the year, Detroit has a 40.5% hard-hit rate, which easily outpaces the second-place Los Angeles Dodgers' mark of 35.5%, and they lead baseball in both hard-hit rate (40.4%) and wOBA (.356) versus southpaws. While they have lost J.D. Martinez, a big part of their lefty-bashing ways, the Tigers still boast a very good lineup.

Keuchel is the night's most expensive arm, but our models slot him in as the 12th-best pitcher on the main slate.
