Chris Taylor, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $3,600

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a solid 4.65 implied team total, but are expensive as a whole, and Zack Godley is no walk in the park.

In fact, Godley is one of the tougher customers on the slate, sporting a 3.64 SIERA, 26.4% strikeout rate, and 55.6% ground-ball rate. Against another opponent, you might even consider using Godley, but instead, he and the Dodgers effectively cancel each other out.

Chris Taylor seemed like a fluke early on, but all he's done is get stronger, producing a .418 wOBA and .271 isolated power (ISO) over the second half. But in his price range, you're better off pivoting to stars like Mookie Betts or George Springer, who have far stronger matchups.
