3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 6/25/18

Freddie Freeman, 1B, Atlanta Braves

Price: $4,700

The Atlanta Braves' 4.88 implied total is the third-highest on Monday's main slate as they take on Cincinnati Reds right-hander Tyler Mahle.

Mahle has a shaky 4.31 SIERA this season, and adding in the four starts he made in his first Major League campaign in 2017, he has a 4.57 SIERA for his career. His batted-ball profile is especially concerning this season as he's allowing a 41.5% hard-hit and 36.7% fly-ball rate while forcing a mere 13.6% soft-hit rate.

Freddie Freeman ranks 12th among qualifying hitters in hard-hit rate against righties (47.4%), and he's one of only five hitters who rank in the top-30 in that category while also having a soft-hit rate in the single-digits. In 594 plate appearances against righties since the start of the 2017 season, he has notched a .407 wOBA and .261 ISO, and he shouldn't have much trouble versus Mahle.
