5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Studs to Target on 6/6/16
Miguel Cabrera, 1B, Detroit Tigers
FanDuel Price: $3,600
Even though Miguel Cabrera has hit 12 home runs this season, just one of those has come against left-handed pitching. In fact, he’s posting miserable ISO and wOBA splits at .083 and .275, respectively.
This is obviously unusual considering his career success versus southpaws -- in 2,058 career plate appearances, he’s hit them for a .239 ISO and .412 wOBA.
It’s likely a small sample issue, and he’ll have the opportunity tonight to boost his numbers when he faces J.A. Happ. Happ has allowed seven home runs this season, all to right-handed batters. In addition to the long balls, he’s allowed a .165 ISO and .308 wOBA to those same hitters.
After Encarnacion, Cabrera is the next best option at first base.
