4 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 8/17/17
The Rangers have the highest implied total on the main slate, and Joey Gallo offers elite upside. What other high-priced players should you target in daily fantasy on Thursday?

Aaron Nola, P, Philadelphia Phillies

Price: $9,900

Aaron Nola has put together a very strong 2017 campaign, posting a 3.69 SIERA and 25.8% strikeout rate, and his recent performances really stand out. He has at least 7 strikeouts in 9 of his last 10 games, and his strikeout rate in that span is 29.0%.

The Philadelphia Phillies are actually slight underdogs in this one, but with the game's incredibly low 7.0 over/under, the San Francisco Giants' 3.60 implied total is still one of the day's lowest marks.

The Giants are a team that really struggles with right-handed pitching. If we look at only active rosters, they have a middle-of-the-pack 20.9% strikeout rate while sitting tied for last with a 79 wRC+.
