Aaron Judge, OF, New York Yankees

Price: $5,100

Aaron Judge is another guy that has clobbered right-handed pitching, having turned in a 45.1% hard-hit, 11.7% soft-hit and 42.1% fly-ball rate into a .440 wOBA and .364 ISO against righties in 2017. He's not making quite as strong contact in a smaller sample to open the 2018 season, but he's managed a very nice .412 wOBA.

Judge also finds himself drawing a great fantasy matchup against Toronto Blue Jays righty Marco Estrada.

Estrada's batted-ball profile gives Judge a ton of home run upside -- having allowed a huge 51.7% fly-ball rate to right-handed bats in 2017. He also gave up a ton of production on that contact, resulting in his opponents hitting to a .366 wOBA. He has opened 2018 with a 4.74 SIERA, which is on pace to be a new career-worst following a 4.69 mark in 2017. Judge is a threat to take serious advantage of those struggles.
