Tim Anderson, SS, Chicago White Sox

FanDuel Price: $3,000

After a very solid 2017 campaign in which Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson popped 17 long balls with 15 steals, Anderson has continued to show impressive growth with 13 home runs and 17 steals so far in 2018.

But it could be rough for Anderson to add to those numbers tonight against Cincinnati Reds hurler Luis Castillo. While Castillo possesses an ugly 5.85 ERA over 87 2/3 innings in 2018, a 4.12 SIERA indicates the right-hander has been a little unlucky. And against right-handed bats, Castillo has been downright rude, limiting them to a .314 wOBA with a 24.5% strikeout rate and 28.1% fly-ball rate.

Anderson clearly has a legit power-speed combo we need to consider on most nights, but Monday may be a stay-away day versus Castillo.
