Anthony Rizzo, 1B, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $4,400

Anthony Rizzo is demolishing right-handed pitching, and today, he gets to face Jered Weaver, one of the worst righties in baseball.

Rizzo owns a .418 wOBA, .296 ISO, and 14.1% walk rate against right-handers. His batted-ball stats versus righties are mouth-watering as he's sporting a 39.1% hard-hit rate and 46.1% fly-ball rate.

Weaver has a hideous 5.51 SIERA and 12.1% strikeout rate, which rank last and second-to-last, respectively, among all starters. Remarkably, his numbers get worse on the road, where his strikeout rate falls to 9.6% and his fly-ball rate spikes to 49.7%.

Going up against the potent Cubs' lineup -- which ranks third with a .334 wOBA -- at Wrigley Field could be a nightmare for Weaver. Chicago is a team to target in cash games, even though they'll be chalk.
