Max Scherzer, P, Washington Nationals

FanDuel Price: $11,200

Max Scherzer against the Philadelphia Phillies is going to be hard to pass on in cash games.

Our top-ranked pitcher, Scherzer has scored at least 20 FanDuel points in 14 of his last 15 games. He also has incredible upside, totaling at least 60 points in five of those outings. Of course, you're going to have to pay up for the dreamy combination of a massive ceiling paired with a high floor.

Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park ranks first in home run factor, but it's not because of the Phillies. The Phils rank 24th in home dingers (63) and last in home wOBA (.283). Overall, Philadelphia checks in 29th in wOBA (.295) and is tied for last in wRC+ (80). Their implied total of 3.29 runs is the second-lowest of the slate.

It's one of the game's best pitchers versus one of the worst offenses in baseball -- 'nuff said.
