Yasmani Grandal, C, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $2,600

Philadelphia Phillies righty Nick Pivetta hasn't exactly impressed during his rookie campaign. He hasn't been as bad as his egregious 6.75 ERA may make it look, but he's sporting a shaky 4.36 SIERA while allowing a big 36.7% hard-hit rate.

The switch-hitting Yasmani Grandal's .318 wOBA isn't anything to write home about, but he has still shown plenty of pop, evidenced by a .200 ISO and 35.6% hard-hit rate. He has also done his best work this year against right-handed pitching, turning a 38.2% hard-hit rate and 42.7% fly-ball rate into a .322 wOBA and .218 ISO.

If it ends up being Austin Barnes instead of Grandal that handles catching duties for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Barnes would also make for an excellent value option. Pivetta has allowed an especially high 43.1% hard-hit rate to right-handed hitters, and Barnes has a strong .386 wOBA in 2017.
