4 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 8/10/17
James Paxton has been dominant this season, and he has a nice matchup with the Los Angeles Angels. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar in daily fantasy on Thursday?

Danny Salazar, P, Cleveland Indians

Price: $9,300

Danny Salazar has been outstanding this season, posting a 3.43 SIERA, 32.8% strikeout rate and absurd 16.2% swinging-strike rate. He doesn't meet the innings cutoff for qualifying pitchers, but if he did, that strikeout rate would rank fourth and his swinging-strike rate would rank second.

He hasn't missed a beat since his return from a shoulder injury, either. Actually, he's been out of this world, sporting a huge 39.4% strikeout rate and 17.6% swinging strike rate in three games since coming off the disabled list -- striking out at least one third of the batters he faced in each of the games.

Salazar brings those numbers into a solid matchup tonight, taking on a Tampa Bay Rays team that has struck out against left-handed pitching at the second-highest rate in the majors.
