Dallas Keuchel, P, Houston Astros

Price: $8,900

Dallas Keuchel has allowed the fourth-lowest average batted-ball distance among the 187 players that have thrown at least 150 pitches in September. That's been a common theme for Keuchel over the course of the season -- he's given up the second-lowest mark among the 253 players that have thrown at least 1000 pitches in 2017.

Bringing that into a matchup with the Chicago White Sox, the Houston Astros are the day's biggest favorites by a huge margin (-320 moneyline), and the White Sox have the day's lowest implied total (3.14).

While Keuchel's strikeout rate isn't anything special, it's not a bad mark at 20.5%, especially when accompanied by a 10.6% swinging strike rate. The White Sox strike out at a top-12 rate (21.9%) against southpaws, and Keuchel has both a strong floor and some nice upside in this one.
