Brandon Belt, 1B, San Francisco Giants

FanDuel Price: $4,000

San Francisco is another team to target tonight. The Giants travel away from pitcher-friendly AT&T Park for a tasty matchup at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park, one of the game’s best environments for hitters.

The Giants will face Phillies’ righty Zach Eflin, who owns an unsightly 5.18 SIERA. While his 5.2% walk rate is very good, Eflin’s 11.8% strikeout rate is horrifying, especially coupled with his home park.

Brandon Belt, a left-handed stick, is raking in every situation, putting up a .376 wOBA with 11 homers and a 15.4% walk rate this season. Belt’s wOBA has actually been better in 2016 against southpaws (.389 wOBA) than righties (.369). With that said, he has a 37.4% hard-hit rate against right-handers, compared to a 31.5% hard-hit rate against lefties.
