Starlin Castro, 2B, Miami Marlins

FanDuel Price: $3,000

After being traded from two title contenders (the Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees) in the past three years, Castro has to be feeling snakebitten. He has been solid as a member of the Miami Marlins, batting over .300, but his upside is minimal with just a 24.3% fly-ball rate.

He also has to face Kyle Hendricks, who has been nasty against right-handed hitters in his career. In his career, Hendricks has held righties to a .261 wOBA, 27.8% fly-ball rate, and 26.6% hard-hit rate.

In addition, Castro is a below-average hitter against same-sided pitching. In his career against right-handers, he has just a 94 wRC+ thanks to a meager 27.0% hard-hit rate. Facing a tough right-hander like Hendricks, Castro is an avoid for MLB DFS.
