4 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 8/30/17
Dallas Keuchel, P, Houston Astros
Price: $9,100
Dallas Keuchel has been limiting his opponents' contact over the past three weeks, allowing a bottom-50 average exit velocity and bottom-10 average batted-ball distance among the 145 players to throw at least 200 pitches during that stretch.
His strikeout stuff hasn't been anything special this year, with a 21.0% strikeout rate and 10.8% swinging strike rate, but that's less of a concern in today's matchup with the Texas Rangers.
The Rangers rank only 25th in wRC+ while striking out at the seventh-highest rate in the majors (23.8%) against left-handed pitching, leaving Keuchel with a strong floor and some great upside despite his underwhelming strikeout rate.
