Wilmer Flores, 1B, New York Mets

Price: $2,200

Wilmer Flores' ridiculous platoon splits leave him pretty consistently under-priced against left-handed pitching.

He is terrible against righties (career .297 wOBA), but in 243 plate appearances since the start of the 2016 season, he has cracked lefties for a .381 wOBA and .286 ISO.

Atlanta Braves southpaw Sean Newcomb has allowed a .333 wOBA and 4.46 xFIP to right-handed bats over his first two Major League seasons, and while that's not awful, it's also more than enough to leave Flores offering big value while he's priced only $200 above the minimum.
