Corey Kluber, P, Cleveland Indians

Price: $12,000

The Cleveland Indians are Friday's biggest favorites (-212 moneyline), and combining that with an 8.0-run over/under, the Minnesota Twins' 3.31 implied total is a bottom-three mark on the slate.

The Twins rank below-average with a 96 wRC+ against right-handed pitching this season, while their 21.9% strikeout rate ranks in the middle of the pack. That's more than enough to make this a spot that Corey Kluber can take advantage of.

Kluber is coming off a 2017 campaign that saw him notch a stellar 2.68 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA), and while his 2.77 clip this year is a slight step back, it's still an elite mark. He's on pace for a SIERA south of 3.00 for his fourth time in the last five seasons. His 27.5% strikeout rate is also right in line with his career-average (27.4%).

It's no surprise that Kluber is our top-projected fantasy pitcher, making him well worth his steep cost on today's slate.
