3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 5/18/18
Aaron Judge, OF, New York Yankees
Price: $4,800
One of the few guys producing better than Freeman this year, Aaron Judge has a super-impressive .437 wOBA with a .287 isolated slugging (ISO) over 188 plate appearances. This is no fluky production over a small sample either, as 2017 saw him rack up a .430 wOBA and .343 ISO over 678 plate appearances.
We don't have to worry about his righty-versus-righty matchup against Jake Junis either, as Judge has mashed righties for a .443 wOBA and .350 ISO on a 45.0% hard-hit rate since the beginning of 2017.
Junis is off to a solid start to 2018, but 8 games is a small sample and his 28 major league games over his first 2 seasons have seen him pitch to a middling 4.31 SIERA. That's respectable, but it's not to the point where it should scare you off of a guy like Judge.
