5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Studs to Target on 6/7/16
Kyle Hendricks, P, Chicago Cubs
FanDuel Price: $8,500
Kyle Hendricks offers the upside of Greinke but comes with a nice discount. Hendricks, a right-hander, has a superb matchup against the lowly Philadelphia Phillies.
Philadelphia sits 29th in wOBA (.285), 26th in walk rate (6.6%), 21st in strikeout rate (22.1%), and 26th in homers (50). The Phillies really struggle against righties, posting a measly .676 OPS versus right-handed pitching.
Hendricks is sporting a 3.48 SIERA, 20.7% strikeout rate, and 5.3% walk rate through 61 1/3 innings, giving the Cubs outstanding production as a back-end starter. He’s our second-ranked pitcher with a projected point total of 32.61 points while Philadelphia’s implied total of 3.29 runs is the day’s lowest mark.
