3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 9/18/17
The Athletics have Monday's highest implied total, and Khris Davis offer elite upside against Tigers righty Buck Farmer. What other high-priced players should be on your radar in daily fantasy tonight?

Clayton Kershaw, P, Los Angeles Dodgers

Price: $12,100

We only have seven games on tap tonight, and the Los Angeles Dodgers (-330 moneyline) are the biggest favorites of the day by a huge margin. The Philadelphia Phillies' 2.75 implied total is also the lowest on the slate by a full run.

None of that comes as much of a surprise. The Phillies' active roster ranks 27th with an 85 wRC+ against southpaws, while Clayton Kershaw ranks third among qualifying pitchers with a 2.97 SIERA.

The Phillies also sit right in the middle of the pack with a 20.9% strikeout rate against lefties, and a 30.9% strikeout rate and 14.0% swinging-strike rate against Kershaw. Kershaw's upside is more than enough to justify his massive price tag, especially considering the sheer averageness of Monday's other top-priced pitching options.
