3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 9/10/18

Corey Kluber, P, Cleveland Indians

Price: $12,300

Among the 20 starting pitchers set to take the mound for tonight's main slate, Corey Kluber ranks second in SIERA (3.30) and fourth in strikeout rate (25.5%).

Only one pitcher sits ahead of him in both stats, and that is Jacob deGrom, who will be dealing with some bad weather tonight, after rain already caused his start to be pushed from Sunday to tonight.

Kluber has been especially fiery in recent action, notching strikeout totals of 10 and 8 while only allowing a combined 1 earned run in 13 2/3 innings over his last two starts. One of those games saw him deal 7 shutout innings while fanning 8 against the Tampa Bay Rays -- his opponent for tonight.

The Rays are a capable offense, particularly against right-handed pitching, but they still make for a fantasy-friendly matchup. Their active roster has a 22.5% strikeout rate against righties on the year, which is the 11th-highest in the Majors.

With a 38.2% strikeout rate and 15.4% swinging-strike rate over his last two starts, Kluber's strikeout potential is more than enough to make him Monday's top pitching option.
