3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 7/24/18
James Paxton, P, Seattle Mariners
Price: $9,300
James Paxton left his last start early, but he got in a good bullpen session this weekend, and it doesn't sound like he's going to be limited at all tonight.
While his ERA is up to 3.70 this year, his skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) is down to a career-best 2.97, which is also the second-best among today's starters. He's also dealing a deadly 32.2% strikeout rate on a 13.8% swinging-strike rate -- both of which are career-bests as well.
He brings those impressive numbers into a plus matchup tonight, taking on a San Francisco Giants team that ranks only 20th in wRC+ against left-handed pitching. The Giants' 3.19 implied total is Tuesday's lowest, and the Seattle Mariners are the day's biggest favorites, sporting a -189 moneyline.
