3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 7/23/18
J.D. Martinez has crushed righties this year, and he has a nice matchup with Kevin Gausman. Which other players are worth paying up for?

Mike Trout, OF, Los Angeles Angels

Price: $4,500

A good rule of thumb this year has been to target hitters against Lucas Giolito. He has made 19 starts for the White Sox this season, and in that time, he has an egregious 5.95 SIERA with a 12.9% walk rate that pushes up really close to his 13.6% strikeout rate. Unsurprisingly, the Los Angeles Angels' offense has a strong implied total tonight, at 5.17.

And of course, no right-handed pitcher has been safe from Mike Trout this year.

In 345 plate appearances, Trout has blasted right-handers for a 47.0% hard-hit rate, 13.5% soft-hit rate and 43.0% fly-ball rate, which has translated to a huge .437 wOBA and .301 isolated slugging (ISO) in the split.
