3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 5/21/18
The Yankees have a slate-best 5.44 implied total versus Bartolo Colon, putting Aaron Judge in a great spot. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar?

Giancarlo Stanton, OF, New York Yankees

Price: $5,100

Another righty who can rake against right-handed pitching, Giancarlo Stanton has a 37.5% hard-hit rate and 37.7% fly-ball rate over the last two seasons. This has translated to a .371 wOBA and .289 ISO -- not quite Judge-esque but still very strong numbers when he's surrounded by what should be the day's most productive offense.

Colon doesn't limit contact much from right-handed hitters, either, allowing a 44.0% hard-hit rate and 13.2% soft-hit rate to righties this season.

This spot is especially appealing when you consider what can happen if Colon does get shelled and is given the hook early. The Rangers' relievers have allowed the second-highest wOBA (.351) in the Majors to right-handed bats, while also getting tagged for a huge 40.9% hard-hit rate.
