On that note, let's highlight some of the top options for today's FanDuel main slate.

Pitchers to Target

High-Priced Pitchers

Zack Wheeler ($10,700 on FanDuel): Zack Wheeler's modest 2019 results don't really reflect that of a guy priced above $10k, but a 3.91 SIERA, 26.0% strikeout rate, and 6.1% walk rate still look the part. His 4.45 ERA looks more to be the outcome of an unlucky 66.6% strand rate, which is well below his career average (73.0%). But what we're really here for is his fantastic matchup against the Marlins, which is pretty much standard DFS procedure these days. Miami's active roster owns the second-worst wRC+ against righties (78) alongside a 24.1% strikeout rate. As one might expect, the Marlins aren't expected to do much in this one, displaying a paltry 3.28 implied total.
