Gio Gonzalez, P, Washington Nationals

FanDuel Price: $8,500

Gio Gonzalez's 4.73 ERA is his worst mark since 2009, but Gonzalez's peripherals tell a different story. He's performing at a very comparable level to what he's done over the past three years.

In fact, his 7.4% walk rate is a career-best clip.

Gonzalez is doubly attractive today because of his matchup and his price tag.

A lefty, Gonzalez is our top-ranked arm with a projected point total of 36.84 points for his home matchup with the Cincinnati Reds. He's just the day's 10th-most expensive hurler, though. Cincinnati has struggled against southpaws this year, ranking 25th in wOBA (.305), and the Reds own a meager .294 wOBA away from home.
