Jose Altuve, 2B, Houston Astros

FanDuel Price: $4,600

The Houston Astros are likely to have their work cut out for them tonight, considering their date with lefty ace J.A. Happ. On the season, Happ has fired 91 innings and has been stellar with a 27.9% strikeout rate to support a 3.32 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA).

As one of the best hitters in baseball, Jose Altuve will usually have a hefty price tag, but his performance in 2018 against lefties may leave a little bit to be desired. Over 91 plate appearances, the diminutive second baseman has only an .083 isolated power (ISO) and .306 weighted on-base average (wOBA). Happ, meanwhile, is holding righties to a .293 wOBA and 20.1% soft-hit rate.

On tonight's slate, save your coin and pivot off of Altuve.
