Anthony Rizzo, 1B, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $4,200

Putting Anthony Rizzo against a righty in a hitter-friendly park is almost unfair. The Chicago Cubs' first baseman gets exactly that tonight as he will face Matt Garza at Miller Park, which checks in fourth in park factor and third in home run factor.

Garza has only pitched 80 2/3 frames this year, and he's coming off his best month of the season. His numbers, though, are still pretty terrible. He is posting a 4.74 SIERA with a 15.1% strikeout rate and 8.4% walk rate. Left-handed hitters have got to him for a .357 wOBA, and Garza's strikeout rate against southpaws drops to 12.4%.

Rizzo has been roasting right-handed pitchers this season. He owns a .409 wOBA against righties with a 39.6% hard-hit rate and 44.2% fly-ball rate. Rizzo, Kris Bryant and Dexter Fowler are all among our top 11 hitters for the night, according to our projections, so the Cubs will once again be a team to target.
