3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 4/26/19
Eddie Rosario is making some of the best contact of his career in 2019. Does that make him worth paying up for against Alex Cobb and the Orioles?

Eddie Rosario, OF, Minnesota Twins

Price: $4,300

The only team with an implied total north of five runs as of Friday morning is the Minnesota Twins, boasting a 5.16 mark. That's a familiar sight for opponents of the Baltimore Orioles this season, and righty Alex Cobb has been a big part of their defensive woes.

Sure, he hasn't been nearly as bad as an 11.88 ERA would suggest, but his 4.30 SIERA is still fairly weak, and he hasn't posted a mark better than that since 2014.

Likely batting cleanup in what projects as the highest-scoring offense on the slate, the potential for runs and RBI for Eddie Rosario is obvious. It helps that he absolutely mashes against righties, too.

He smacked righties for a 36.5% hard-hit rate last year, and in 2019 that's up to 40.0%, which has translated to a .408 wOBA and a massive .408 ISO. That ISO might not be sustainable, but his 89.9 mile-per-hour average exit velocity is up from last year's mark of 87.3 (then a career-high), and his power looks like it's for real.
