Tyler O'Neill, OF, St. Louis Cardinals

Price: $2,800

He has only made 96 Major League plate appearances so far, but Tyler O'Neill is raking. He has turned a 42.6% hard-hit rate and 42.6% fly-ball rate into a .361 wOBA and a huge .270 ISO. It's no surprise that he has hit the ground running either, as his 64 Triple-A games in 2018 saw him post a massive .446 wOBA with a .382 ISO.

He's not going to stay this cheap for much longer, and even in a righty-versus-righty matchup, he's worth jumping on tonight.

Pittsburgh Pirates' righty Trevor Williams is not a scary matchup, even without O'Neill getting the platoon advantage. Williams has a career-worst 4.96 SIERA over 25 games this season, and in same-handed matchups he has a shaky 4.37 xFIP while allowing a 32.8% hard-hit rate.
