Billy Butler, 1B, Oakland Athletics

FanDuel Price: $2,600

Billy Butler hasn't been slugging the way we're used to seeing, but that's not to say he's not making good contact. His 35.1 percent hard-hit rate this season is solidly above his career average, and despite that, he's sporting a 7.7 percent home run-to-fly ball ratio that is well below his career average.

He's also hit lefties well this season, with a .314/.368/.471 slash and a .353 wOBA, making tonight's matchup with Hector Santiago an appealing one.

Santiago's SIERA has climbed each year he has been in the league, culminating with a 4.63 this season. He has allowed a career .328 wOBA with a 4.86 xFIP to right-handed hitters, and with a huge 36.2 percent hard-hit rate against righties this season, he's likely to have some trouble with Butler.
