4 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 5/8/17
Tonight's Coors Field game has the slate's highest over/under, and Kris Bryant offers elite upside. Which other high-priced MLB players should be on your radar for Monday's DFS contests?

Jacob DeGrom, P, New York Mets

Price: $10,700

This may not be the best slate to pay up for when it comes to pitching, but if you are, Jacob deGrom is your guy.

Even after a disappointing outing in his last start, deGrom has been terrific this year. He owns a 3.25 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA), and his 31.6% strikeout rate is on pace to be a career high, being held up by an excellent 15.7% swinging strike rate. He has fanned double-digit batters in three of his last four starts.

His matchup isn't ideal for fantasy, taking on a San Francisco Giants team that strikes out at a below-average rate against right-handed pitching. However, the Giants also boast an ugly 68 wRC+ against righties, and the New York Mets are the day's second-biggest favorites (-154 money line) while the Giants' 3.16 implied total is the lowest on the slate.
