4 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 5/5/17
Paul Goldschmidt brings a hefty 48.1% hard-hit rate into Coors Field tonight. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar?

Stephen Strasburg, P, Washington Nationals

Price: $10,400

Stephen Strasburg is coming off of a disappointing two-strikeout showing in his last start, but he draws a solid matchup tonight. He's facing a Philadelphia Phillies team that ranks below-average with a 95 wRC+ against right-handed pitching while also sporting the the seventh-highest strikeout rate in baseball.

The Washington Nationals are the day's second-biggest favorites (-165 moneyline) in this one.

Strasburg's strikeout rate is down a bit to start the year, but three of his five starts have come against teams which rank in the bottom 10 in strikeout rates against righties (he struck out eight Phillies in each of the other two games). It's not time to panic about that strikeout rate just yet.

He has made it through seven innings in each of his starts while sporting a decent 3.42 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA), and he should be in for another solid game against Philadelphia tonight.
