Chris Archer, P, Tampa Bay Rays

Price: $10,400

The Texas Rangers have been a strong fantasy matchup for right-handed pitchers this season, owning the league's ninth-highest soft-hit rate (20.1%) and 11th-highest strikeout rate (22.4%), while posting a 98 wRC+.

Chris Archer is more than capable of taking advantage of a favorable matchup like this, even at the hitter-friendly Globe Life Park.

Archer has consistently shown great strikeout stuff, with a 29.0% strikeout rate in 2015 and 27.4% in 2016, but he has been especially nasty this year, posting career-best marks in both strikeout rate (29.5%) and swinging strike rate (12.9%), as well as a 3.36 SIERA.
