3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 8/6/18

Giancarlo Stanton, OF, New York Yankees

Price: $4,700

Dylan Covey has posted a 7.0% swinging-strike rate in 2018, and he has allowed a 36.7% hard-hit rate over 72 2/3 innings this season. Think Giancarlo Stanton may be licking his chops at the dish tonight?

In his first season as a Yankee (covering 482 plate appearances), Stanton has smashed his way to 25 home runs thanks to a 43.2% hard-hit rate. Even though Yankee Stadium has been quite the hitter's haven, Stanton has actually performed better outside of New York, racking up a .410 wOBA and 163 wRC+ on the road.

With tonight's game in Chicago and an exploitable starter on the other side, look for the Yankees outfielder to pay off his price tag with a big night.
