3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 8/28/18

Cody Bellinger, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers

Price: $3,900

The Los Angeles Dodgers boast a huge, slate-high 6.15-run implied total as they travel to Texas (where they get the benefit of the slate's highest park factor) to take on righty Ariel Jurado and the Rangers.

Jurado has made six starts this season, struggling to the tune of a 6.40 ERA and 5.35 SIERA. His strikeout rate sits at only 8.5%, while he's allowing a 45.4% hard-hit rate and 10.1% soft-hit rate.

Cody Bellinger has seen his production drop off this season after posting a .380 wOBA and .315 ISO as a rookie in 2017, but he has still proven more than capable of mashing righties. He has made 349 plate appearances against right-handed pitching in 2018, turning a 37.7% hard-hit rate and 40.9% fly-ball rate into a .364 wOBA and .227 ISO.

He's fairly cheap tonight as far as stud hitters go, and his matchup -- as well as the high implied total of the offense around him -- gives him a huge bump in ceiling.
