Yangervis Solarte, 3B, San Diego Padres

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Justin Nicolino will get the start for the injured Andrew Cashner tonight, and that makes this a great matchup for the San Diego Padres' hitters.

Nicolino has an ugly 4.74 ERA and 5.41 SIERA through 24 starts over his first two seasons, and he owns a 9.0% strikeout rate. He has allowed a .354 wOBA to right-handed hitters, putting the switch-hitting Yangervis Solarte in a good spot.

Solarte's batting numbers have improved with each season, and this year he is slashing .278/.34./.471 with a .348 wOBA, .193 ISO and 33.2% hard-hit rate. The Padres boast a 4.67 implied total, and Solarte is a cheap way to get some exposure to San Diego.
