Jose Bautista, OF, New York Mets

FanDuel Price: $2,300

This offseason, Jose Bautista was essentially left for dead in free agency. He's even been released by a team already this season. Even still, he has looked impressive, showing glimpses of his old form.

Bautista's batted-ball profile this year has been very solid, and it's been similar to his prime years in Toronto. Bautista has a 47.0% fly-ball rate and 40.3% hard-hit rate on the year.

That should come in handy against Homer Bailey. Bailey has surrendered 1.88 home runs per nine innings this season. He has a 5.04 SIERA, including a a 36.7% fly-ball rate and 42.9% hard-hit rate.
