3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 4/2/18

George Springer, OF, Houston Astros

Price: $4,000

In addition to the top-projected arm, the Houston Astros have the top-projected bat, per our models, in George Springer.

The Orioles will be starting Chris Tillman, whose 5.76 SIERA in 2017 was the worst among today's starting pitchers. He also allowed the third-highest average exit velocity among the 280 pitchers to throw at least 1,000 pitches last year.

Springer, on the other hand, is coming off a career year. His 17.6% strikeout rate was his lowest in his four big league seasons, and his .376 wOBA and 267 isolated slugging (ISO) were both his career-best marks while he posted a solid 36.7% hard-hit rate.

Houston has the day's highest implied total (5.61 runs), and hitting leadoff in such a strong matchup gives Springer a huge ceiling.
