Sean Rodriguez, OF, Pittsburgh Pirates

FanDuel Price: $2,000

Unless you're being contrarian in tournaments, you're going to want to make room for Clayton Kershaw or Kluber in your lineup tonight. With both well above the $11,000 mark, that means scrounging lineups for punt plays, which is sometimes easier said than done on an eight-game slate.

Still, despite Sean Rodriguez costing the minimum, you shouldn't need to go here. Rodriguez should be in the lineup against lefty Jon Lester, and may even bat high in the order. However, despite a few stumbles lately, Lester isn't exactly someone you want to throw your bats at, considering his 3.88 SIERA, 24.6% strikeout rate, and 27.0% hard-hit rate. The Pittsburgh Pirates have a 3.55 implied team total.

Furthermore, we should have other minimum-priced values in good spots tonight. Phillip Ervin may lead off against Matt Harvey, and Brandon Moss can provide some cheap pop versus Kyle Gibson.
