Matt Holliday, OF, St. Louis Cardinals

FanDuel Price: $2,500

Matt Holliday has had a solid start to the year, posting a .351 wOBA and .234 ISO despite a .274 BABIP that is well below his career average of .337 and actually on pace to be a career-low. His 38.6 percent hard-hit rate (on pace to be the second-best mark of his career) makes it very encouraging that his numbers will get even better moving forward, which makes his low daily fantasy price tag very appealing.

He has also hit righties very well over his career with a .388 wOBA and .216 ISO, promising numbers for his matchup with Matt Shoemaker tonight.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2014, Shoemaker's numbers declined in 2015 (with a 4.46 ERA and 3.98 SIERA), and he has had a brutal start to this season with a 5.05 SIERA through five games.

Holliday's salary is really low compared to the kind of production we can expect from him, and Shoemaker hasn't been playing well enough that he should scare you off tonight.
