Preston Tucker, OF, Atlanta Braves

FanDuel Price: $3,100

The Atlanta Braves aren't necessarily looking like a top destination on tonight's slate, but they get a solid matchup against Matt Harvey. Harvey is coming off a forgettable 2017 campaign, and through three starts, his 19.4% strikeout rate, 40.0% hard-hit rate rate allowed, and low velocity don't exactly suggest the Dark Knight of old is coming back any time soon.

Preston Tucker is one of 2018's early-season surprises, owning a stellar 43.2% hard-hit rate with a .354 wOBA thus far. While it's fair to wonder if he can keep it up, even if we look at his career against right-handers as a whole, he's posted a solid 35.3% hard-hit rate and 38.0% fly-ball rate with a .218 ISO. Given his low spot in the batting order and somewhat awkward price point, he's a good guy to take a chance on to see if he can keep the good times rolling.
