Brandon Belt, 1B, San Francisco Giants

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Shelby Miller will be on the mound for the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight, which is great news for San Francisco Giants batters. Miller had a brutal 2016 season, posting a 6.15 ERA and 5.13 SIERA. While his ERA was significantly better in the years before that, he also finished 2015 with a shaky 4.16 SIERA and posted a 4.60 in 2014.

He has had an especially hard time against lefties over his career, with a 4.66 xFIP and a 35.5% hard-hit rate, and he allowed left-handed hitters a massive .400 wOBA in 2016, a mark that would have ranked seventh among qualifying hitters if it was a single player.

Brandon Belt, having posted a solid .370 wOBA on a 38.2% hard-hit rate against right-handed pitching in 2016 and a 39.9% hard-hit rate against righties in 2015, should have no trouble taking advantage of this matchup.
