Preston Tucker, OF, Houston Astros

FanDuel Price: $2,200

The owner of some fairly extreme platoon splits, Preston Tucker regularly offers solid fantasy value when he's up against a right-handed pitcher. Over his young career, he has a .334 wOBA and .232 ISO against right-handed pitching with a 35.6 percent hard-hit rate.

Boston's Steven Wright isn't great and makes this an even more appealing spot for Tucker. Wright has a career 4.16 SIERA and has posted an ugly 4.71 xFIP against left-handed hitters.

Keep an eye on the Astros' lineup tonight, as there's a chance that Tucker doesn't start, but only Evan Gattis has started more games as the designated hitter than Tucker, and Gattis isn't expected to be called up from the minors until next week.
