5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Studs to Target on 5/23/16

Clayton Kershaw, P, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $13,200

Clayton Kershaw is having the best season of any pitcher maybe ever:

Clayton Kershaw's SIERA is now down to 1.92. The lowest in the history of SIERA (since 2002) is 2.09... by Clayton Kershaw.

Kershaw’s strikeout and walk numbers are mind-boggling. With an elite 11.51 strikeouts per nine innings rate, Kershaw is also only allowing 0.51 walks per nine innings. In other words, he’s struck out 88 hitters while only walking 4 of them this season. Four!

He has a sparkling ERA of 1.67 and his 1.78 xFIP suggests that there’s not much luck behind it.

$13,200 is pricey, but Kershaw’s performances justify that price. He’s pitched seven-plus innings in every start this season, and he’s even struck out 10-plus batters in six straight starts. That’s nuts.

As a massive and nearly record-breaking -360 favorite tonight, using Kershaw is as easy as it gets in MLB DFS cash games.
