Addison Russell, SS, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Addison Russell has been producing really well lately, slashing .268/.330/.561 with a .368 wOBA and a huge 40.0% hard-hit rate in August. Russell has a 41.9% fly-ball rate and 30.9% hard-hit rate against left-handed pitching this season, and that makes tonight's matchup with Steven Brault a good one.

Brault has only made two big league starts, with a 5.21 SIERA through 10 innings, and his Triple-A performances this season didn't inspire a ton of confidence either, with a 3.91 ERA through 16 games.

The high-powered Cubs offense is likely to produce some lofty numbers, and Russell is a great way to get cheap exposure to that with big upside.
