4 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 8/16/17
Yu Darvish, P, Los Angeles Dodgers
Price: $10,400
The Chicago White Sox are all kinds of bad against right-handed pitching, and if we just look at active rosters, they rank 29th in wRC+ (85) while striking out at a top-10 rate (22.1%).
They have by far the day's lowest implied total (IMPLIED) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (moneyline) are the day's biggest favorites by a huge margin.
Yu Darvish has had an underwhelming year by his lofty standards. His 3.69 SIERA is still a nice mark, while his 27.5% strikeout rate and 12.3% swinging strike rate are both top-15 among qualifying pitchers. The numbers and the matchup are enough to make him the day's top arm.
