3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 7/27/18
Nolan Arenado, 3B, Colorado Rockies
Price: $4,500
Nolan Arenado is another Colorado bat that absolutely mashes lefties. Over 147 plate appearances in 2018, Arenado has turned a 51.0% hard-hit rate, 12.8% soft-hit rate and 41.2% fly-ball rate into an absolutely bonkers .542 wOBA and .431 ISO.
Numbers that great look like they must be unsustainable, but he's also coming off a 2017 campaign that saw him rack up a .534 wOBA and .420 ISO in 165 plate appearances against southpaws.
If the Rockies shell Manaea and the A's have to go to the bullpen early, this remains a good spot for Arenado as well. He does see a drop in production against righties, but at home over the last two seasons, he has still tagged them for a .388 wOBA and .251 ISO. The A's relievers have also allowed above-average marks in both hard-hit and fly-ball rate this season.
