5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Studs to Target on 8/30/16
Freddie Freeman has destroyed right-handed pitching this season, and he gets a juicy matchup against Edwin Jackson.

Freddie Freeman, 1B, Atlanta Braves

FanDuel Price: $3,900

Freddie Freeman is just the sixth-most expensive first baseman, but he's our ninth-ranked overall bat for his home matchup against San Diego Padres' righty Edwin Jackson.

Freeman is having a stellar season, boasting a .389 wOBA with a .262 ISO and 27 jacks -- all of which are career highs. He should be locked up for what he's done to righties this year as he's mashed them to the tune of a .394 wOBA, 41.5% hard-hit rate and 45.5% fly-ball rate.

Jackson probably shouldn't be getting paid to pitch at this point. He's struggled this year to a 5.56 SIERA, 13.8% strikeout rate and 11.2% walk rate. On the road against left-handed hitters, he's surrendering a .404 wOBA with a 41.7% fly-ball rate.

Atlanta's implied total is a respectable 4.69, which is saying something considering the Braves rank last in ISO, wOBA and homers.
