Max Scherzer, P, Washington Nationals

FanDuel Price: $11,800

There’s only one true stud pitching option tonight, and you can bet that he’ll be highly owned in both cash games and tournaments. On a slate with just eight games, Max Scherzer provides upside that no other pitcher can match.

With a 11.59 strikeouts-per-nine-innings rate this season, Scherzer has shown a major strikeout ceiling. With six games of 10-plus strikeouts, including a stellar 20-strikeout performance against Detroit in May, Scherzer can effortlessly rack up 50-plus FanDuel points.

He has the potential for another huge strikeout performance tonight, as the Mets are sixth in the league against right-handed pitching with a 22.6 percent strikeout rate.

As a Vegas favorite of -165, Scherzer will deservedly be the chalk in cash game formats.
