3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 7/6/18

J.D. Martinez, OF, Boston Red Sox

Price: $4,600

J.D. Martinez' 26 home runs are 2 more than anyone else has hit this season, and his 71 RBI are 8 more than anyone else. He is also tied for 7th with 60 runs scored, and his 14.1 FanDuel points per game rank third among hitters with at least 30 games played.

Furthermore, the righty slugger's .431 wOBA and .314 ISO both rank third, and he sits sixth in average exit velocity. Any way you cut it, Martinez has had a ridiculous season from the dish. And a righty-versus-righty matchup is no worry for him either, with a .438 wOBA and .339 ISO on a 48.9% hard-hit and 8.0% soft-hit rate in 276 plate appearances against righty pitchers this season.

Kansas City's Jason Hammel is on pace for his worst SIERA (4.94) since his nine-game rookie campaign in 2006, and the 45.8% hard-hit rate he is allowing is the highest of his career by a sizable margin. Even righties have been thrashing him to the tune of a .373 wOBA, 4.72 xFIP and 44.7% hard-hit rate, so he doesn't stand much of a chance of slowing down a guy like Martinez.
