Erick Fedde, P, Washington Nationals

FanDuel Price: $6,200

We have some strong pitching options atop the list tonight in Patrick Corbin and Zack Wheeler, and with the Tampa Bay Rays looking like the chalk value stack of the slate, combining the Rays with one of those two pitchers ought to be a popular move. So, if you're looking to add a little spice into your life, you could jump way down and roll the dice with Erick Fedde.

The 5.12 ERA may look ugly, but since coming off the DL and rejoining the rotation this month, Fedde has shown promise over two starts, posting a 2.57 SIERA while striking out 16 over 10 2/3 innings for a 39.0% strikeout rate. We're obviously talking about an absurdly small sample size, particularly for a guy who wasn't exactly lighting it up earlier this year, but he also posted a reasonable 2.68 FIP, 24.3% strikeout rate, and 51.3% ground-ball rate over 13 Triple-A starts.

Just as importantly, the matchup is right against the Miami Marlins, who have only managed a .291 wOBA and 24.2% strikeout rate over the last 30 days. We're taking a leap of faith here, but the price is right, and will allow you to stack a more expensive team like the Milwaukee Brewers or Houston Astros to differentiate your lineup.
