5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Studs to Target on 8/16/16
Justin Verlander gets a home meeting with the Royals, who own an MLB-worst .290 wOBA on the road. What other high-priced players are worth checking out?

Corey Kluber, P, Cleveland Indians

FanDuel Price: $10,700

Corey Kluber, our top-ranked hurler, gets a tasty home matchup with the Chicago White Sox.

"Klubot" owns a 25.2% strikeout rate and 12.2% swinging-strike rate, so he always has some big upside. This is especially true tonight as he hosts a White Sox team that ranks 22nd in wOBA (.309), 22nd in ISO (.147), and 24th in homers (117).

Chicago's wOBA drops to .303 away from home, and Kluber is limiting hitters to a 19.4% hard-hit rate with a 44.4% ground-ball rate in his two August starts.

Kluber is the night's most expensive arm, but he's scored at least 30 FanDuel points in each of his last six starts, including four outings of at least 45 points. Chicago's implied total of 3.2 runs is the day's lowest mark.
