Drew Butera catching for Royals on Friday night
Kansas City Royals catcher Drew Butera will start on Friday night versus the Chicago White Sox.
Butera will catch Royals right-hander Ian Kennedy while batting ninth against fellow righty James Shields and the White Sox. Salvador Perez is starting at designated hitter for Kansas City while Eric Hosmer takes a seat on the bench.
The Royals have the second-highest implied total on Friday's full 15-game slate at 5.95 runs, so they are a lineup to target for DFS purposes. numberFire's models project Butera to score 7.2 FanDuel points at a cost of only $2,100 versus the White Sox.
