Kendrys Morales, 1B, Kansas City Royals

FanDuel Price: $2,700

Kansas City Royals lefties are in a good spot tonight. Chris Tillman is starting for the Orioles, and he has a 4.22 SIERA on the season and 4.39 over his career. He struggles against left-handed hitters, with a 4.64 xFIP this season and 4.38 over his career. Camden Yards is also a very hitter-friendly park, especially for lefties.

Kendrys Morales' production hasn't been great to start this season, but he's sporting a 14.7 percent soft-hit and 34.6 percent hard-hit rate while only managing a .227 BABIP. With numbers like that, we can expect his production to trend upwards as the season progresses.

While he's a switch-hitter, he has done his best work against right-handed pitching over his career, with a .345 wOBA and .203 ISO. Being in a hitter-friendly park with a good matchup tonight, Morales is in a great spot.
