Anthony Rizzo, 1B, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $4,200

Anthony Rizzo is always worth peeping whenever the Chicago Cubs are taking on a righty. Versus right-handers this season, Rizzo is sporting a .409 wOBA with a 39.2% hard-hit rate and 44.5% fly-ball rate.

Rizzo will see Pittsburgh Pirates' righty Chad Kuhl tonight. A rookie, Kuhl has pitched to a 4.77 SIERA, 15.3% strikeout rate and 6.2% walk rate through his first 43 2/3 big-league innings.

It's obviously a small sample, but that strikeout rate is one we want to target. Kuhl has also had a tough time with southpaws, allowing left-handed hitters to post a .340 wOBA with a 33.3% hard-hit rate and 38.6% fly-ball rate.
