Neil Walker, 1B, New York Yankees

Price: $2,700

The New York Yankees' offense is easy to like tonight, boasting a 5.38 implied total against the Los Angeles Angels and southpaw Andrew Heaney.

Heaney's 3.48 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) this season is nothing to scoff at, but that's only over a seven-game sample. His relatively extreme platoon splits also mean he has been significantly worse against right-handed bats.

Over the last two seasons, Heaney has allowed a big .368 wOBA on a 44.9% hard-hit rate to right-handed hitters.

The switch-hitting Neil Walker has done his best work against right-handed pitching over his career, but Heaney's struggles against right-handed bats give Walker a big boost here, leaving him offering solid value as one of the few budget-friendly ways to get exposure to the Yanks' offense.
