Pitchers to Target

High-Priced Pitchers

Max Scherzer ($11,700 on FanDuel): Normally, when we see the Boston Red Sox sitting in the opposing dugout, it's an automatic pass, and we move on to the next guy. But Scherzer has been unreal in 2018, posting a 2.40 SIERA, 37.1% strikeout rate, and 6.1% walk rate. The Red Sox may suppress strikeouts, but keep in mind that they lose the designated hitter at Nationals Park and get a park=factor downgrade away from Fenway (3.39 implied team total). At this point, Scherzer is a near must-start every five days, and even in the tough matchup, he's arguably the evening's best play.
