Chris Sale, P, Boston Red Sox

FanDuel Price: $11,800

Chris Sale has turned in an absurd season in his first year with the Boston Red Sox, leading all qualifying pitchers in both SIERA (2.60) and strikeout rate (35.9%).

His 17 double-digit strikeout games are three more than any other pitcher, and he has also topped 50 FanDuel points in 17 of his 29 starts.

He draws an incredibly promising matchup against the Tampa Bay Rays, whose active roster has only managed an 88 wRC+ against southpaws while also striking out at the second-highest rate in the majors (25.4%).

Sale's strikeout upside in a matchup like this gives him the highest ceiling on the slate by a big margin, and numberFire's models also project him as the day's top-scoring fantasy pitcher.
