3 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 8/20/18
Justin Turner, 3B, Los Angeles Dodgers
Price: $4,000
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner has pretty much been a monster in the second half.
In 70 plate appearances, he has a wOBA of .539 and a wRC+ of 249, with 4 dingers and 7 doubles since the break. He gets St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Austin Gomber, who will be making just his fifth start of the season.
Gomber has a solid 2.89 ERA in 37.1 innings, but he has only pitched into the 6th inning twice in his four starts. Turner also rakes against left-handed pitching, with a .428 wOBA and 175 wRC+ against southpaws so far this season.
On a night when there is no super-expensive player to be had, Turner is facing an inexperienced starter with LA boasting the fifth-highest implied total (4.45) on tonight's slate.
