Dallas Keuchel, SP, Houston Astros

FanDuel Price: $8,800

Dallas Keuchel has had a rough go of it since coming off the disabled list, with two straight clunkers against the Detroit Tigers and Rays -- good for a combined 21 FanDuel points. It sure doesn't seem like he's right, compiling a 5.52 SIERA, 11.9% strikeout rate, and 11.9% walk rate over those outings.

Additionally, Keuchel is typically a better real-life pitcher than DFS one. Even if he gets his act together tonight, he has a 22.8% punchout rate on the year, which pales in comparison to Kluber and Sale, who both hover around 36%.

On a smaller slate, you might go here at Keuchel's cheap price in a cushy spot against the Chicago White Sox, but instead you're better off waiting until Keuchel proves he's at full-strength.
