Tommy Joseph, 1B, Philadelphia Phillies

FanDuel Price: $2,000

Tommy Joseph is priced right at the stone-minimum, and our models project him as the top point-per-dollar value -- by a big margin -- among Wednesday's batters.

Joseph is coming off of a promising rookie season that saw him post a .257/.308/.505 slash with a .342 wOBA and .248 ISO. He put up an especially strong .383 wOBA with a 33.8% hard-hit and 9.9% soft-hit rate against southpaws.

He brings that production into a pretty good matchup against lefty Brandon Finnegan. The Cincinnati Reds' hurler can get punchouts, but against righties last season, he pitched to an ugly 4.92 SIERA while allowing a 38.3% hard-hit rate.
