Tanner Roark, P, Washington Nationals

FanDuel Price: $9,000

While the Chicago Cubs are dominating the headlines, Washington sits at 41-25. Tanner Roark has been a big reason for the team’s success, giving them a solid middle-of-the-rotation arm behind Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg.

Roark has pitched to a 3.91 SIERA, 21.6% strikeout rate and 52.5% ground-ball rate. He’s is inducing a ton of weak contact as his hard-hit rate is a meager 20.2%. The only blemish on Roark’s resume this year is an inflated 8.4% walk rate, the worst clip of his career.

He gets a pretty matchup tonight as he does battle with the San Diego Padres inside pitcher-friendly Petco Park. The Padres have picked up their offensive pace of late, but they still rank 17th in wOBA (.292), 27th in strikeout rate (24.3%) and 27th in slugging percentage (.386). San Diego has been a touch worse at home, recording a .287 wOBA and .376 slugging percentage at Petco Park.
