Jacob deGrom, P, New York Mets

Price: $12,300

With Chris Sale still yet to get a full workload since returning from a shoulder injury, Jacob deGrom stands out in a big way among tonight's top-priced arms.

He has turned in an absolutely masterful 2018 season, ranking third among qualifying pitchers in SIERA (2.83) and fourth in strikeout rate (32.0%). Both of those marks are also good for first among qualifying starters in action tonight.

He has had no trouble turning those numbers into fantasy production, topping 60 FanDuel points in 6 of his last 9 games, while only going below 40 once (and never below 37) in that stretch.

Tonight he's at home in a pitcher-friendly environment, where he has a 2.62 xFIP, compared to 2.70 on the road. Even in a middling matchup against the Atlanta Braves (20.5% strikeout rate, 94 wRC+ against right-handed pitching), both his floor and ceiling are elite tonight.
