4 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 7/27/17
With a .390 wOBA against righties on the season and 12 home runs in July, Giancarlo Stanton offers elite upside against Robert Stephenson and the Reds. What other high-priced players should be on your fantasy radar on Thursday?

Chris Archer, P, Tampa Bay Rays

Price: $10,500

On tonight's short eight-game main slate, there are no pitching options who don't have significant question marks.

The New York Yankees have a big 116 wRC+ against right-handed pitching this year, and that does create some risk in playing Chris Archer tonight, but his upside is worth that risk, with the Yanks also striking out at a top-10 rate (22.4%) against right-handers.

Archer has turned in a strong year so far, with a 3.49 skill-interactive ERA. With his strikeout rate (29.3%) and swinging strike rate (13.5%) both ranking sixth among qualifying pitchers, his strikeout potential in this matchup is enough to give his floor a bit of a boost, while also leaving him with the most appealing upside on the main slate.
