3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 8/29/18

Justin Turner, 3B, Los Angeles Dodgers

Price: $4,100

The Los Angeles Dodgers' 5.68 implied total is the second-highest on the slate as they take on southpaw Mike Minor and the Texas Rangers.

Minor is sporting a career-worst 4.28 SIERA over 23 starts in 2018, which comes in part thanks to a 38.7% hard-hit rate (worst of his career) and 44.4% fly-ball rate (second-highest of his career). Those contact numbers are especially troublesome in the hitter-friendly environment in Texas, where he's allowing a 12.8% home-run-to-fly-ball rate.

Justin Turner hasn't quite matched his .400 wOBA from 2017, but his .390 this year is still a strong mark, and it comes on a 42.8% hard-hit rate and 46.4% fly-ball rate. He has been especially good against left-handed pitching, with his wOBA seeing a huge jump, up to .456 with a .247 ISO.
