4 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 8/11/17
Bryce Harper, OF, Washington Nationals
Price: $5,000
The Washington Nationals draw a strong matchup against the San Francisco Giants and righty Chris Stratton tonight, and their 5.58 implied total is the day's highest mark.
Stratton has only appeared in 5 major league games this season (and 12 in his career), but he's sporting an ugly 5.76 SIERA, bringing his career-average to 5.65. That's not a big sample, but he also posted a shaky 4.09 xFIP in 15 Triple-A starts this year, and he hasn't really shown anything to inspire optimism for tonight.
Bryce Harper is one of the last players a struggling righty wants to face. With a .457 wOBA, .351 ISO and 16.8% walk rate against right-handed pitching on the year, Harper should have no trouble turning in a big game tonight.
