Tucker Barnhart, C, Cincinnati Reds

FanDuel Price: $2,100

After watching him homer at a very low price point last night, punting at catcher with Tucker Barnhart may seem like an attractive option once again. However, with a matchup against Corey Kluber, Barnhart is one we should avoid with ease.

This season, the switch-hitting backstop hasn't hit well as a lefty, recording only a .291 wOBA, .120 isolated power (ISO), and 33.8% fly-ball rate. Fold in Kluber's dominance against lefties in 2018 -- with a 26.8% strikeout rate and .256 wOBA -- and Barnhart is tough to roster even at his basement price on FanDuel.
