Johnny Cueto, P, San Francisco Giants

FanDuel Price: $10,300

Johnny Cueto is our third-ranked hurler for his home matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks. AT&T Park is about as pitcher-friendly as it gets, ranking 28th in park factor and last in home run factor. Vegas hates Arizona tonight, giving them the day's lowest implied total at 2.92 runs.

Cueto is having a really productive first year with the San Francisco Giants. He owns a 3.63 SIERA, 22.0% strikeout rate and 4.7% walk rate, with the walk rate checking in as a career-best clip. At home, Cueto is limiting hitters to a .261 wOBA with a pencil-thin 3.1% walk rate.

Arizona ranks 11th with a .321 wOBA, but their wOBA slips to .314 on the road.

Scherzer is in a great spot, but if you're looking for a pivot, Cueto is a worthwhile option.
