Michael Saunders, OF, Toronto Blue Jays
FanDuel Price: $2,600
You're going to want some exposure to the Toronto Blue Jays lineup today as they play at home against New York Yankees pitcher Bryan Mitchell, and Michael Saunders is a very cost-effective way to do just that.
Saunders is having a career year from the dish, slashing .257/.340/.490 with a .353 wOBA and .234 ISO, and he is sporting a huge 38.8% hard-hit rate against right-handed pitching.
Through 26 games in the Majors since his 2014 debut, Mitchell has been largely unimpressive, with a 5.47 ERA and 4.09 SIERA while allowing a 33.5% hard-hit rate.
The Jays rank fourth in wRC+ against right-handed pitching this season, and Saunders gives you a solid bat in a lineup that offers huge upside without having to break the bank.
