3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/30/18

Aaron Judge, OF, New York Yankees

Price: $4,200

Aaron Judge got off to a good start to the season last night, with a pair of hits (including a double), a walk and a run scored. The Yankees offense looks like it's going to be a prolific one once again, and their 4.61 implied total is the third-highest on Friday's main slate.

To oppose the Bombers, the Toronto Blue Jays are starting righty Aaron Sanchez in this one, and while it's hard to know just how he'll fare this year, there's reason to believe that it won't be anything special. His 5.62 SIERA in 2017 was a pretty egregious mark, but he was also dealing with blister issues for the better part of his eight games. Still, his last two seasons both saw him post SIERA's north of 4.00, and he doesn't make for an especially worrying fantasy matchup right now.

Judge, on the other hand, hammered right-handed hurlers in 2017. He ranked third against righties with a .440 wOBA last year, while his .364 isolated slugging (ISO) was good for tops in the majors. He did that damage with a ridiculous batted-ball profile, which included a 47.7% fly-ball rate, 9.2% soft-hit rate and 46.2% hard-hit rate. Needless to say, he offers an elite ceiling tonight.
