​4 FanDuel MLB Studs to Target on 6/23/16
Matt Harvey, who is stifling batters in June, gets a dreamy matchup. What other high-priced players are worth checking out?

Jon Lester, P, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $11,400

With Harvey just rounding into form, Jon Lester feels like a much safer play, but you’re going to have to fork over some serious cash for that warm and fuzzy feeling, as Lester is $1,900 more expensive than Harvey is.

Our top-ranked pitcher, Lester will take on the Miami Marlins in a road clash. Miami ties for the main slate's lowest implied total at 3.34 runs.

Lester is turning in another solid campaign. He owns a 25.8% strikeout rate, 5.6% walk rate, and 3.33 SIERA. The punchout rate is his best mark since 2010. The Cubs’ southpaw has been especially lethal in June, limiting hitters to a measly .221 wOBA through 30 innings this month.

Miami has a league-average offense, ranking 14th with a .318 wOBA. However, the Marlins have hit worse at home, posting a .305 wOBA at Marlins Park.
