Stephen Strasburg, P, Washington Nationals

FanDuel Price: $10,600

Stephen Strasburg has been excellent when he’s been healthy. Just how good has he been? His 2.95 SIERA this year -- which ranks sixth among all starting pitchers -- is actually his worst clip since 2013. For his career, he owns a 28.8% strikeout rate and 6.2% walk rate.

He’s healthy now, and Strasburg is our top-ranked pitcher for his road matchup versus the New York Mets. He provides $1,500 savings over Chris Sale, yet we project Strasburg to score just over one more point than Sale. We forecast him to allow 2.0 earned runs on 5.17 hits while fanning 6.42 over 6.31 innings of work -- all of which adds up to 36.99 FanDuel points. The Mets' implied total of 3.14 runs is the lowest of the day.
