Christian Villanueva, 3B, San Diego Padres

Price: $2,900

Going back to the Padres' offense, Christian Villanueva is another right-handed bat who stands to benefit from this matchup with Cole Hamels.

Villanueva has made 267 plate appearances over the two season in his MLB career, and he has shown a ton of pop with a .351 wOBA and .280 ISO. We only have a small 87-plate-appearance sample against southpaws to draw from, but his numbers are especially promising in that split as he has turned a 44.4% hard-hit rate and 46.3% fly-ball rate into a ridiculous .497 wOBA and .494 ISO.

Those numbers obviously aren't sustainable, but with his awesome contact, we can expect him to continue to produce well against lefties moving forward.
