Eric Thames, 1B, Milwaukee Brewers

Price: $2,800

Coming off back-to-back games with at least 18 FanDuel points, Eric Thames remains nice and cheap tonight.

The slugger made a triumphant return to the majors in 2017, posting a .369 wOBA and .271 isolated slugging (ISO), and he dominated right-handed pitchers to the tune of a .390 wOBA on a 43.6% hard-hit rate. That puts him in a terrific spot tonight against St. Louis Cardinals' right-hander Jack Flaherty.

Flaherty struggled in his 2017 rookie campaign, managing a measly 4.62 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA), while his small 46-batter sample against left-handed sticks was especially concerning, as he allowed a .448 wOBA and 5.49 xFIP.
