Curtis Granderson, OF, Toronto Blue Jays

Price: $2,500

On the other side of that matchup, the Blue Jays have Thursday's second-highest implied total, a 4.88 mark that would look promising on any slate.

Oakland is starting Andrew Triggs, and while he has his skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) down to a solid 3.99 through 8 starts this season, he's giving up some worrying contact with a 40.0% hard-hit rate and 16.4% soft-hit rate. Left-handed hitters have been especially unkind to him as he owns a 4.66 xFIP in the split while allowing a 43.1% hard-hit rate.

Curtis Granderson stays cheap in daily fantasy because of his extreme platoon splits, which tends to leave him way underpriced against right-handed pitching. He has tagged righties for a .408 wOBA over 101 plate appearances this season, giving him a .356 wOBA and .247 ISO on a 35.8% hard-hit rate versus righties over the last two seasons.
