4 FanDuel MLB Studs to Target on 8/17/16
Ian Desmond has been crushing left-handers this season, especially at Globe Life Park. He gets a mouth-watering home matchup tonight against Oakland southpaw Sean Manaea.

Jon Lester, P, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $10,800

Jon Lester is our second-ranked arm, but he’s a full $1,000 more expensive than Carrasco. Still, he is in line for a productive night in his home meeting with the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Brewers have a .316 wOBA, but that clip drops to .301 when they’re away from home. Milwaukee is also second in road strikeout rate (25.4%), putting Lester in a great spot.

Lester’s strikeout rate jumps to 27.0% in his outings at Wrigley Field, and through two August starts, he’s posting a 28.0% strikeout rate this month. He is averaging 44.0 FanDuel points over his last three starts, including a pair of 51-point gems.
