Max Scherzer, P, Washington Nationals

FanDuel Price: $11,800

With a projected point total of 37.2 FanDuel points, Max Scherzer is our top-ranked hurler for his home matchup with the Cleveland Indians.

Scherzer is turning in another spectacular season, posting a SIERA under 3.00 for the fourth straight year. In all, he's putting up a 2.89 SIERA with a career-best 32.5% strikeout rate, 6.2% walk rate, and mind-blowing 15.2% swinging strike rate. At Nationals Park, he's holding hitters to a .247 wOBA while his strikeout rate climbs to 34.9%.

The Indians own a .328 wOBA, but that number drops to .304 when they're on the road. As an added bonus, Cleveland won't have a designated hitter for this one. The Indians' implied total of 3.21 runs is the second-lowest mark of the slate.
