Tyler Naquin, OF, Cleveland Indians

Price: $2,000

In addition to the sweet matchup with Junis, Cleveland stands to benefit from the fact that the Royals' relievers collectively have the worst xFIP of any bullpen in the Majors at 4.64.

Tyler Naquin is a very interesting way to get exposure to the Tribe's offense, thanks to his price tag sitting at the minimum.

Naquin hasn't been anything special from the dish this year, but in 468 plate appearances against righties over his three-year MLB career, he has turned a 40.0% hard-hit rate into a .349 wOBA and .182 ISO. While his production in 2018 doesn't match that, he is still making great contact, with a 41.9% hard-hit rate and 14.9% soft-hit rate against right-handers.
