4 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 4/19/17
Freddie Freeman has been crushing the ball this season, and he draws a solid matchup against Joe Ross tonight. Which other high-priced MLB players should be on your radar for Wednesday's DFS contests?

Clayton Kershaw, P, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $12,900

This one probably doesn't surprise you, but Clayton Kershaw is the top pitching option on the slate. It's rarely easy to fit him into your lineups, but there's a reason his price tag floats in the $13,000 range.

Even in what has been a poor start to the season by Kershaw's lofty standards, he has been stellar, with a 2.47 SIERA and 27.9% strikeout rate. He has also posted a strikeout rate north of 30% in each of the last three seasons.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the biggest favorites on the slate (-245 moneyline) while the Colorado Rockies' 2.58 implied total is more than half a run lower than anyone else. Colorado ranks below average in wRC+ and has the fifth-highest strikeout rate against left-handed pitching this season, making this an especially good spot for Kershaw, who is unsurprisingly our top-projected pitcher of the day.
