4 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 7/7/17
With an elite 35.6% strikeout rate this year, Max Scherzer draws a good matchup tonight against the Braves. Which other high-priced MLB players should be on your daily fantasy radar on Friday?

Jacob deGrom, P, New York Mets

Price: $11,000

There are a ton of stud pitchers on this slate. While Jacob deGrom and the New York Mets being slight underdogs (+103 money line) looks like a red flag, the St. Louis Cardinals only have a 3.82 implied total. The close betting odds are largely because of a tough pitching matchup on the other side of this game.

DeGrom's 3.60 SIERA isn't anything special, but he's been dealing the best strikeout stuff of his career, evidenced by a 29.0% strikeout rate and 14.2% swinging-strike rate. He makes for a better play in tournaments than in cash (where you probably want to just jam in Scherzer and move on to other positions), he has some serious upside against a Cardinals team that has a middling 97 wRC+ against righties.
