4 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 5/23/17
Paul Goldschmidt is on pace for a career-high .431 wOBA this season, and he draws a great matchup tonight against Dylan Covey and the White Sox. What other high-priced players should be on your fantasy radar on Tuesday?

Paul Goldschmidt, 1B, Arizona Diamondbacks

Price: $4,700

The Arizona Diamondbacks are at home at hitter-friendly Chase Field tonight for an excellent matchup against Chicago White Sox righty Dylan Covey. Arizona's hefty 5.97 implied total is the highest on the slate.

Covey has really struggled with his first taste of big league action in 2017, posting a 5.40 SIERA with a 9.8% walk rate that is barely exceeded by his 12.8% strikeout rate through seven starts. He's also allowed a 35.7% hard-hit rate, and he has already been taken yard 11 times, including twice in each of his last four starts.

Paul Goldschmidt is no stranger to eye-popping numbers, but even by his standards, 2017 has been big with his career-best .431 wOBA through 201 plate appearances. He's also on pace for a career-high hard-hit rate (51.2%), while his soft-hit rate sits at a mere 9.6%. He's been absolutely raking this year, and Covey is not the kind of pitcher likely to slow him down.
