3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 9/28/18
Travis Shaw boasts elite upside tonight against Tigers righty Jordan Zimmermann. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar?

Charlie Blackmon, OF, Colorado Rockies

Price: $4,400

With the Colorado Rockies' huge 5.99 implied total sitting as Friday's highest by a wide margin, they're a tough offense to fade. They're at home in the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field, and they'll be taking on right-hander Joe Ross and the Washington Nationals.

This will be Ross' third start since returning from Tommy John surgery, and his first two outings did not go well. He went a combined 11 innings in those games, with an equal number of walks and strikeouts (3) while allowing six runs (five earned). He also only managed an egregious 6.23 xFIP. It's not like he would have been a bad matchup pre-surgery either. Against 167 left-handed hitters in 2017, he allowed a brutal .387 wOBA on a 39.2% hard-hit and 35.3% fly-ball rate.

Charlie Blackmon has, as always, been terrific against righties at Coors this season. He has a .404 wOBA and .218 ISO on a 37.5% hard-hit and 32.6% fly-ball rate in that split, and he should have no issues with Ross tonight.
