5 FanDuel MLB Studs to Target on 6/30/16
Owner of a dazzling .485 wOBA in June, Matt Carpenter is atop a Cardinals' lineup with a juicy implied total. What other high-priced players are worth the investment?

Bryce Harper, OF, Washington Nationals

FanDuel Price: $4,200

The fact Bryce Harper is facing a lefty -- Cincinnati Reds' starter Brandon Finnegan -- helps keep his price tag somewhat in check, but he's still a guy you want to target.

Harper is always attractive because he's so dang good, but Washington's implied total of 5.19 runs, the main slate's highest mark, makes him even more enticing today.

Nationals Park, the site of the game, ranks 10th in park factor, and Harper is boasting a .380 wOBA at home this season. While Harper has fared better against right-handed pitching, he's still sporting a solid .349 wOBA against southpaws.

There's also the not-so-insignificant factor of Finnegan being fairly terrible. The Reds' lefty owns a 5.19 SIERA and 11.0% walk rate. Finnesgan has been especially awful on the road, pitching to a 5.86 xFIP away from home.
