3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 8/8/17
Only two pitchers have a better strikeout rate than Jose Quintana over the past month, and he faces a light-hitting Giants team tonight.

Freddie Freeman, 1B, Atlanta Braves

Price: $3,900

The Atlanta Braves have the fourth-highest implied run total today, as they take on Zach Eflin and the Philadelphia Phillies. Efflin, a righty, is the owner of a 5.08 SIERA and the slate's third-lowest strikeout rate (12.1%). He's been even worse against left-handed batters, allowing a 6.34 FIP and a 40% hard-hit rate.

Insert Freddie Freeman, who is.... good against right-handed pitching. No player has a higher slugging percentage against right-handed pitching over the past two seasons than Freeman (.623), who has raised that number to .684 this season. Eflin will have no answer for Freeman, who is a strong option in all formats.
