3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 7/27/18

Trevor Story, SS, Colorado Rockies

Price: $4,100

As they get their home series underway against the Oakland Athletics, the Colorado Rockies' 5.83 implied total stands as the day's second-highest.

In addition to the big boost their offense gets from playing at Coors (which has the most hitter-friendly park factor on the slate), they have a plus matchup against A's southpaw Sean Manaea.

Manaea has a strong 3.38 ERA on the season, but his 4.37 SIERA suggests that he hasn't been pitching nearly as well as it looks on the surface. He has also given up the most worrying contact of his career, which isn't something you want to see from a pitcher at Coors. his 38.1% hard-hit rate is nearly 5% higher than he has ever allowed before, his 14.7% soft-hit rate is a career-low, and his 35.0% fly-ball rate is right in line with his career average.

Trevor Story has made 139 plate appearances against southpaws this year, turning a massive 50.0% hard-hit and 48.9% fly-ball rate into a .416 wOBA and .301 ISO. Bringing contact numbers like that into tonight's matchup gives him a sky-high ceiling, and an affordable one at his price tag.
