Marwin Gonzalez, 1B, Houston Astros

Price: $2,800

Going back to the Astros, the switch-hitting Marwin Gonzalez does his best work against right-handed pitching, but Ariel Miranda's struggles are pronounced enough that Gonzalez can still offer a ton of value against a lefty.

Miranda has faced 734 right-handed hitters over his first two major league seasons, and in that sample, he has struggled to the tune of a 5.42 xFIP on while giving up a 55.3% fly-ball rate.

Gonzalez isn't awful against lefties, either, posting a .322 wOBA and .194 ISO in the split since April 2017.
