Jason Kipnis, 2B, Cleveland Indians

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Cleveland has a nice implied total of 4.9 runs for their matchup with Ivan Nova and the New York Yankees.

Even in the midst of one of the better seasons of his career, Nova's 3.97 SIERA isn't exactly intimidating, and he still holds a 4.09 SIERA over his 7 seasons in the majors.

His struggles are a little more pronounced against left-handed hitters as he's pitched to a 4.54 xFIP this season against southpaws. That makes this an especially good matchup for Jason Kipnis.

Kipnis is hitting for power better than he has since 2011, his rookie season, posting a .175 ISO and 34.9% hard-hit rate. He's sporting a strong .274/.339/.480 slash with a .349 wOBA against right-handed pitching this season, and with a quality matchup, he offers very solid fantasy value.
