3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 5/16/18
Freddie Freeman is on pace for a career-high wOBA and offers big upside against the Cubs' Tyler Chatwood tonight. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar?

Freddie Freeman, 1B, Atlanta Braves

Price: $4,800

The Atlanta Braves' 4.78 implied total is the second-highest on Wednesday night's short main slate as they take on righty Tyler Chatwood and the Chicago Cubs.

Chatwood is coming off a 2017 campaign that saw him struggle to the tune of a 4.78 SIERA, and he has been even worse in 2018, with a 5.64 mark. Over those two seasons, he has allowed a big .356 wOBA to left-handed bats.

Freddie Freeman has been his usual dominant self to start the year, with a .416 wOBA and .247 ISO. That puts him on pace for his third straight season with a wOBA north of .400. He is especially deadly against right-handed pitching, with a .418 wOBA and .276 ISO on a 41.1% hard-hit, 42.3% fly-ball and 11.2% soft-hit rate over the last two seasons. Those numbers leave him offering some massive upside against Chatwood and company.
