6 Daily Fantasy Baseball Studs to Target on 5/10/16
Paul Goldschmidt, 1B, Arizona Diamondbacks
FanDuel Price: $4,500
Tonight’s game between the Rockies and Diamondbacks, which is being played at Coors Field, is one to target with an implied total of 11.0 runs. Paul Goldschmidt’s $4,500 price tag isn’t cheap, but he’s just the third-most expensive player in this game.
The stars really align for Goldschmidt in this one. In addition to the hitter-friendly environment, he also gets to face a lefty as he squares off with Colorado starter Chris Rusin. Goldy has straight owned lefties in his career, especially in 2015.
| 2015 | Plate Appearances | wOBA | Home Runs | Hard Hit Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vs. LHP | 144 | .455 | 8 | 48.3 |
| vs. RHP | 551 | .408 | 25 | 39.6 |
Not only does Goldschmidt have favorable splits, but so does Rusin. Over his career, he’s allowed a .369 wOBA to right-handed hitters while holding lefties to a .316 wOBA. Add all that up, and you get the night’s best hitter, according to our rankings, as we project Goldschmidt to score 15.66 points.
