Michael Saunders, OF, Philadelphia Phillies

FanDuel Price: $2,600

Michael Saunders' production has fallen a bit this year, but he's still making some pretty good contact against right-handed pitching, with a 32.0% hard-hit rate and 42.0% fly-ball rate. His batting average on balls in play (BABIP) also sits at only .248, and considering the .321 he posted in 2015 and his .292 career-average, we'll likely see his production trend upwards moving forward.

He draws an excellent matchup tonight against R.A. Dickey, who has been brutal through 11 starts this season, posting a career-worst 5.81 SIERA with a walk rate (11.4%) that eclipses his strikeout rate (10.7%). His 6.25 xFIP against left-handed sticks is especially egregious, and makes this an especially strong spot for Saunders.
