Byung-ho Park, 1B, Minnesota Twins

FanDuel Price: $2,900

The Twins are up against Eric Surkamp and the Athletics tonight, meaning you should take a long, hard look at Minnesota bats.

Surkamp has a career 6.49 ERA and 5.40 SIERA, with an 11.8 percent walk rate that is nearly as high as his 12.9 percent strikeout rate. Against right-handed hitters, his strikeout and walk rates are actually the same, at 13.0 percent, and he has allowed a .377 wOBA with a 5.57 xFIP.

Byung-Ho Park has looked good to start his rookie campaign, posting a .325 wOBA and .241 ISO through 42 games. Park's strikeout rate is typically a bit of a concern, sitting at 31.7 percent, but being up against Surkamp makes that a lot less concerning and lets you capture Park's huge upside without having to worry much about strikeouts.
