Stephen Strasburg, P, Washington Nationals

Price: $11,200

Tonight's slate is filled with strong pitching options. There are four starters with skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) marks better than 3.30, five with strikeout rates above 28%, and five with xFIPs better than 3.20.

Stephen Strasburg fits all of those categories, with a 3.24 SIERA, 28.9% strikeout rate and 3.19 xFIP, while he's also only allowing a fairly low 32.6% hard-hit rate and sporting a 12.1% swinging-strike rate. He's coming off back-to-back starts of 55 FanDuel points, and he's in a great spot to keep rolling tonight against the Miami Marlins.

Miami has been awful against right-handed pitching this year, ranking bottom-five with a wRC+ of 85, while striking out at a top-10 rate (22.8%). They are the only team with an implied total below 3.00 tonight (2.94), and Strasburg and the Washington Nationals are the day's biggest favorites (-270 moneyline).
