3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 4/19/19

Aaron Judge, OF, New York Yankees

Price: $4,400

By his standards, Aaron Judge's .370 wOBA and .197 ISO have been pretty underwhelming this season. He's still crushing a massive 48.8% hard-hit rate (above his 46.8% career-average), though, so we don't need to be too concerned about that.

Nobody hits the ball harder than Judge, and his 95.0 mile-per-hour average exit velocity is tops among the 518 players with at least 100 batted-balls since the start of the 2017 season. The gap between Judge and second place is bigger than the gap between second and eighth place. That gives him massive upside on a nightly basis, and it really doesn't matter if he has the platoon advantage, with a career .403 wOBA and .299 ISO on a 46.6% hard-hit rate against right-handed pitching.

He's not exactly up against a tough righty tonight, either, as the New York Yankees have the slate's third-highest implied total (5.06 runs) against Jake Junis and the Kansas City Royals.

Junis has allowed a 36.8% hard-hit rate to open the season, which isn't far off the 39.3% he's averaged over his career, which he pairs with a 37.8% fly-ball rate.
