4 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 5/19/17
Chris Sale has a huge 38.8% strikeout rate on the season and draws a great matchup tonight against the strikeout-happy A's. What other high-priced players should be on your DFS radar on Friday?

Paul Goldschmidt, 1B, Arizona Diamondbacks

Price: $4,700

Even on the road at a pitcher-friendly park, the Arizona Diamondbacks bats are well-positioned in a matchup with Jered Weaver and the San Diego Padres.

Weaver has been pretty brutal over the last three seasons, with a SIERA worse than 4.80 and strikeout rate worse than 14.0% in each season -- including a 4.98 SIERA and only a 12.6% strikeout rate this season.

Paul Goldschmidt has been crushing the ball recently, ranking 26th in average exit velocity and 9th in average batted-ball distance among hitters with at least 10 batted balls over the past 15 days. With a .427 wOBA and massive 51.8% hard-hit rate on the year, he's incredibly dangerous in a matchup this good.
