Top MLB DFS Hitters – 3B

Anthony Rendon – Rendon has been blistering hot recently, and couldn’t be in a better spot against Aaron Brooks. I talked a little bit earlier about how bad Brooks has been, and Rendon has been one of the best in the league at third base. He has a .286 ISO, 43% FB rate, and 45% HC rate against RHP, This Baltimore bullpen is also one of the worst in the league, making all of these National players great plays

Rafael Devers – This season has been very kind to Devers. He has been great against RHP, with a .277 ISO, 35% FB rate, and 43% HC. Devers is going to be a player to keep an eye on in this series. Stacking him with Moreland, and at least one of the other Red Sox to be mentioned in this piece is a great way to attack this slate.

Jose Osuna – I have yet to talk about Pittsburgh against Drew Smyly. Osuna is probably one of the better options to use. He has been good in limited playing time, with a .176 ISO against LHP, and Smyly has been terrible, with a .242 ISO, 47% HC, and 43% FB rate against RHH. I will likely limit my exposure to the Pirates, but Osuna at his price is great way to help fit in a stud pitcher.
