David Ortiz, 1B, Boston Red Sox

FanDuel Price: $4,200

David Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox have a superb matchup with Yovani Gallardo at hitter-friendly Camden Yards.

Since coming off the disabled list, Gallardo owns an ugly 5.28 SIERA, and that's with seven of his past nine starts coming away from Camden Yards, which ranks fourth in park factor. Putting him in this environment against an offense with a .349 wOBA, the top mark in the game, is asking for trouble.

Gallardo does induce more strikeouts against lefty hitters, but he also surrenders a 31.8% hard-hit rate and 44.9% fly-ball rate to left-handers.

Ortiz -- our top-ranked bat -- owns a massive .441 wOBA against righties to go along with a 45.6% hard-hit rate and 46.5% fly-ball rate. With an implied total of 5.02 runs, Boston's sticks will have high ownership, but it's hard to pass on Ortiz in cash games.
