Colby Rasmus, OF, Tampa Bay Rays

FanDuel Price: $2,400

It's probably no surprise that we're going back to the Rays for a lefty to take advantage of Chris Young's abysmal numbers, and with a price tag this low, its easy to like Colby Rasmus.

The outfielder has only played in six games so far this season, so we can't draw many conclusions from that. However, he owns a decent .334 wOBA and solid .208 ISO against right-handed pitching over his career. He also had a solid batted-ball profile in 2016, which included a 35.7% hard-hit rate, 41.5% fly-ball rate and 12.1% soft-hit rate.

He didn't produce well last season despite the solid contact numbers, but he's cheap enough tonight that we can afford to look past that and take advantage of one of the best matchups you could ask for.
