5 FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Studs to Target on 6/24/16
Max Scherzer, SP, Washington Nationals
FanDuel Price: $11,900
Max Scherzer has continued his elite pitching in 2016, enjoying a career high 11.37 strikeout per nine (K/9) rate as a result of his studly 14.9 swinging strike percentage. He’s allowed his lowest hard-hit rate in four years at 26.6 percent, so even when he’s not striking them out, opposing batters are struggling to make good contact.
He’s coming into tonight’s matchup in great form. Over his last four starts, he’s totaled 28 innings pitched, 38 strikeouts, 3 walks, 4 earned runs and 3 wins.
He has major strikeout upside tonight, as he’ll face the Brewers, a team that's last in the MLB against right-handed pitching with a 25.9 percent strikeout rate.
As a -165 Vegas favorite, Scherzer is tonight’s top pitching option by far.
