3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 5/3/18
J.D. Martinez makes ridiculously-good contact against southpaws, giving him nice upside against Mike Minor. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar?

Mike Trout, OF, Los Angeles Angels

Price: $5,400

The Baltimore Orioles will be starting Chris Tillman, and that's always a treat for opposing batters.

Tillman finished 2017 with an egregious 7.84 ERA on a 5.76 SIERA. In five starts so far in 2018, he has a similar 7.03 ERA and 5.86 SIERA. His walk rate is up north of 11.0% for the second straight season, and he's allowing a career-high 39.1% hard-hit rate while only forcing a 9.2% soft-hit rate.

Mike Trout is not a guy you can afford to pitch that poorly against. Since the start of the 2017 season, Trout has mashed right-handed pitchers for a massive .447 wOBA and .351 isolated slugging (ISO) on a 41.1% hard-hit and 47.5% fly-ball rate.
