Lucas Duda, $2,500 on FanDuel

Get your left-handed hitting Mets stack ready to roll tonight -- that includes Curtis Granderson, Michael Conforto, Neil Walker and, of course, Lucas Duda.

Cody Anderson is on the mound tonight for the Indians, and to say he struggles versus lefties would be a major understatement.

In 2015, Anderson allowed a .179 ISO to left-handed hitters, striking them out just 11.2 percent of the time.

Think his 39 innings versus lefties from last season is too small of a sample? Anderson was even worse in AA in 2014, allowing a .241 ISO and .434 wOBA to left-handed minor league hitters.

Duda has the skill-set to take perfect advantage of this matchup, as he mashed right-handed pitchers with a .236 ISO last season. His fly-ball rate was amazingly 50.6 percent versus both lefties and righties, but his hard hit rate was slightly higher versus righties at 39.6 percent.

At just $2,500, Duda is both a bargain and a stud tonight.
