3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 5/17/18
The Red Sox's offense boasts tantalizing upside against Baltimore righty Kevin Gausman, putting Mookie Betts in a great spot.

Mookie Betts, OF, Boston Red Sox

Price: $5,300

We go right back to the well-positioned Red Sox, where Mookie Betts has done some ridiculous work.

No hitter with at least five games played in 2018 is averaging better than Betts' 17.4 FanDuel points per game. It's not especially close, either, with the next-highest mark sitting a half-point back at 16.9.

Betts has a ridiculous .478 wOBA and .380 ISO (both tops among 168 qualifying hitters), and that is coming on some outstanding contact, with a 45.5% hard-hit rate, 11.4% soft-hit rate and 44.7% fly-ball rate. When we're expecting Boston's offense to generate the most scoring on a slate, it's hard to look past their most productive player.
