Mike Trout, OF, Los Angeles Angels

FanDuel Price: $4,500

Mike Trout is the most expensive hitter on the slate for good reason. He has a mouth-watering road matchup against Oakland Athletics righty Zach Neal.

Trout has put up reverse splits this season, excelling versus same-sided pitchers. He has a .437 wOBA against righties with a 42.7% hard-hit rate and 38.0% fly-ball rate. He's coming off an incredible run of terror in August as he posted an unbelievable 50.0% hard-hit rate last month.

Neal has just 49 MLB innings to his name, but things aren't going well. He has a minuscule 8.3% strikeout rate, and he's going up against a Los Angeles Angels team that owns the lowest strikeout rate in baseball at 16.1%. Neal didn't do much fanning in Triple-A, either, sporting a 12.6% strikeout rate this year over 61 2/3 frames.
