4 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 5/26/17
Max Scherzer is on pace for a career-best 32.2% strikeout rate and is up against a Padres team that owns a 24.5% strikeout rate against righties. What other high-priced players should be on your fantasy radar on Friday?

Max Scherzer, P, Washington Nationals

Price: $11,800

Max Scherzer is showing off some seriously nasty strikeout stuff. This would be his third straight year with a strikeout rate far north of 3.00% (with a career-high 32.2%) and a swinging-strike rate slightly north of 15.0% (15.1%). He's also sporting a strong 2.99 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA).

Even better, he has an outstanding matchup against a San Diego Padres team that ranks 25th against right-handed pitching with an 84 wRC+ and whose 24.5% strikeout rate against righties is the second highest in the majors.

The Washington Nationals are also the day's biggest favorites (-233 money line) and the Padres' 3.02 is the lowest on the slate.
