Miguel Sano, 3B, Minnesota Twins

Price: $2,800

Miguel Sano is another guy producing way below the levels we're used to seeing, but like Eaton, his contact numbers don't show much reason for concern. Sano's 45.0% hard-hit rate is a career-best, while his 14.2% soft-hit rate is less than 1% above his career-average, and his 43.3% fly-ball rate is right in line with his average mark as well.

That contact has translated to a solid .202 ISO, leaving him with plenty of fantasy upside.

The Minnesota Twins' matchup isn't anything special tonight, taking on Detroit Tigers southpaw Matt Boyd, but this isn't a spot that hurts Sano's ceiling either. Boyd has allowed a 37.1% hard-hit and 46.6% fly-ball rate on the season, and he hs a particularly worrying 4.99 xFIP against right-handed bats.
