Yasiel Puig, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $2,800

As I've already touched on, Jason Hammel hasn't been playing as well as his ERA makes it seem this season, and Wrigley Field is a park that favors right-handed hitters, meaning this is a better spot for Dodgers righties than it might look on the surface.

Yasiel Puig is having a down year. However, like Turner, he's sporting a solid hard-hit rate (32.1%), but he has a BABIP (.295) that is well below his career average. He is also sporting the lowest home-run-to-fly-ball ratio of his career, at 8.9%, a number we can expect to rise moving forward.

While he doesn't have Turner's reverse platoon splits, there's not much of a difference in Puig's numbers against righties and lefties. He's sporting a career .363 wOBA and .185 ISO against right-handed pitching, making him easy to like in this matchup.
