Luis Valbuena, 1B, Los Angeles Angels

FanDuel Price: $2,600

With somewhat drastic platoon splits over his career, Luis Valbuena tends to offer some really nice value when he's against a right-handed pitcher, and tonight is no exception.

He's coming off a 2016 season that saw him post a 39.7% hard-hit and 41.9% fly-ball rate against right-handed pitching, and he draws one of the best pitching matchups on the slate, as the Los Angeles Angels' 4.82 implied total is the day's highest mark as they take on Mike Pelfrey and the Chicago White Sox.

Pelfrey has followed the 5.25 SIERA he posted in 2016 with a 5.99 this year (bringing his career average to a 4.76), while posting a brutal 6.23 xFIP against left-handed batters.
