3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 5/1/19

Freddie Freeman, 1B, Atlanta Braves

Price: $4,400

On the other side of things, no team has a higher implied total than the Atlanta Braves' 4.91, and that high mark is no surprise in tonight's matchup against Cal Quantrill and the San Diego Padres.

The right-handed Quantrill will be making his first major league start, and what he's shown us at the minor league level doesn't inspire much confidence. In five Triple-A outings in 2019 he struggled to the tune of a 4.80 xFIP. That's a small sample, but considering his 4.21 xFIP in six starts last year, it definitely raises some eyebrows. The last big sample we got from him was his 22 Double-A starts in 2018, and while he wasn't as bad as his 5.15 ERA might indicate, he still only managed a 4.16 xFIP.

Freddie Freeman has started 2019 with the kind of production we've become accustomed to seeing from him, notching a .396 wOBA and .200 ISO over 133 plate appearances.

Taking on a right-handed pitching also tends to give his numbers a nice boost, and going back to the start of the 2016 season he boasts a .397 wOBA and .245 ISO on a 42.4% hard-hit rate and 38.9% fly-ball rate against righties.

It's a nice touch that the offense around him should be scoring a bunch, and this matchup isn't likely to give him any issues.
