3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 9/12/17
Jose Ramirez, 2B, Cleveland Indians
Price: $3,800
Sticking with Cleveland, their offense is also set to be a high-scoring one today as they boast a solid 5.27 implied total of their own.
They'll face Tigers southpaw Matt Boyd, who is on pace to post career worsts in SIERA (5.04) and hard-hit rate allowed (36.4%). That rate jumps to a 38.8% with a 41.8% fly-ball rate if you just look at his work against right-handed bats, to whom he's allowed a big .373 wOBA.
The switch-hitting Jose Ramirez has a 34.3% hard-hit rate and 10.5% soft-hit rate against left-handed pitching this year, which has translated to a .377 wOBA and .235 ISO.
Ramirez did make an early exit after being hit by a pitch on Monday. That was said to be a precaution, but do double-check that he's in the lineup before locking him in tonight. If he can't go, Boston Red Sox second baseman Eduardo Nunez is a viable pivot at the same price point, with three steals and three RBI in his last four games and a plus matchup against Sean Manaea and his 4.52 SIERA.
