Wilson Ramos, C, Tampa Bay Rays

Price: $2,000

Wilson Ramos is not generally a super productive hitter, but most of his work this season has come against right-handed pitchers (where he struggles the most), and his contact numbers against lefties are quite encouraging.

He has managed an ugly .294 wOBA since the start of the 2017 season, which keeps him priced consistently low. Only 81 of his 269 plate appearances in that time have been against southpaws, though, and against lefties, he has 36.9% hard-hit rate and measly 13.6% strikeout rate.

Texas Rangers lefty Matt Moore represents a great matchup for Ramos. Moore is coming off a 2017 season that saw him allow a career-high 34.7% hard-hit rate while forcing the second-lowest soft-hit rate of his career (15.8%). This season has been even worse for Moore as he's allowing a 44.7% hard-hit rate with only a 10.6% soft-hit rate.
