Joey Votto, 1B, Cincinnati Reds

FanDuel Price: $3,900

Joey Votto talked about his perceived poor play earlier this month when he said he’d rather retire than play at this level. However, Votto actually may be hitting better this season than he did a year ago.

Last year, Votto sustained a .235 ISO and .423 wOBA versus right-handed pitching. This year, he’s still crushing them with 4 home runs, a 48.3 hard-hit rate, and a 25.9 line drive rate.

Tonight, he’ll face Juan Nicasio, who despite his 9.19 strikeouts per nine innings, has been victimized by left-handed hitters. They have hit 3 home runs while posting a .367 wOBA and .223 ISO off Nicasio this season.

Don’t let the perception of Joey Votto fool you -- he’s an elite play tonight.
