3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 9/14/17
With a .390 wOBA agaisnt southpaws in 2017, Aaron Judge offers elite upside against Wade Miley and the Orioles tonight. Which other high-priced MLB players should be on your radar in daily fantasy baseball on Thursday?

Masahiro Tanaka, P, New York Yankees

Price: $9,000

We don't have a ton of high-priced pitching options at our disposal on tonight's main slate, but Masahiro Tanaka really stands out from the rest.

His 3.63 SIERA is solid, but his strikeout numbers have been even better, with a 24.6% strikeout rate and an elite 14.5% swinging-strike rate that ranks fourth among qualifying pitchers. He has been pitching especially well recently, with a 2.95 xFIP and 27.3% strikeout rate in his nine starts since the All-Star break.

The New York Yankees are sizable -181 favorites in this one -- the third-biggest on the main slate -- and Tanaka's matchup is a fantasy-friendly one, as the Baltimore Orioles' active roster has struck out at the eighth-highest rate in the majors (23.1%) against right-handed pitching.
