Rowdy Tellez, 1B, Toronto Blue Jays

Price: $2,600

On the other side of that Boston-Toronto game, a matchup with righty Nathan Eovaldi takes a lot of the Jays' bats out of play, but Rowdy Tellez can still offer some serious upside.

Eovaldi has had a rough start to the year. But two games is a small sample, and with last year's 3.71 SIERA, we don't need to be too concerned about him just yet. With that being said, even in last year's strong season, he allowed a 4.11 xFIP to left-handed bats, getting tagged for a 32.6% hard-hit rate and 34.0% fly-ball rate.

Rowdy Tellez has flexed some real power in his young major league career, owning a .284 ISO over his first 104 plate appearances. That's still a small sample, but with a 38.8% hard-hit rate and 38.8% fly-ball rate, his power numbers don't look like any sort of a fluke.

As a left-handed bat against Eovaldi, Tellez gives you some cheap home-run upside.
