Sean Manaea, SP, Oakland Athletics

FanDuel Price: $7,300

Sean Manaea is a young pitcher with plenty of upside, but don't expect that to be displayed against the Los Angeles Angels. This offseason, the Angels revamped their lineup and they now form a potent threat against any southpaw. This includes getting a full season from Justin Upton and bringing in right handed bats such as Ian Kinsler and Zack Cozart.

Manaea has struggled mightily with right-handed hitters so far in his career, as his strikeout rate decreases while his walk rate increases when facing righties compared to lefties. He has also surrendered a 35.3% hard-hit rate to right-handed batters and a 37.2% fly-ball rate.

I would consider stacking the Angels bats before putting Manaea anywhere near any of my DFS lineups.
