Matt Joyce, OF, Oakland Athletics

FanDuel Price: $2,200

Matt Joyce hasn't been productive from the dish so far this season, but that has his price tag barely above minimum salary despite a strong 37.0% hard-hit rate.

He's also coming off a 2016 campaign in which he posted a career-high .375 wOBA and a .221 isolated slugging (ISO), all while blasting right-handed pitchers for a 38.1% hard-hit rate.

He draws a great matchup against righty A.J. Griffin, who posted an ugly 4.63 Skill-Interactive ERA (SIERA) in his return from Tommy John surgery last year, getting smacked for a ridiculous .406 wOBA on a 44.4% hard-hit rate by left-handed hitters. Joyce is the top point-per-dollar value among Monday's batters, according to our models.
