Josh Reddick, OF, Houston Astros

Price: $2,700

Josh Reddick has decent overall numbers from the dish, but where he really does his best work is when he's up against a right-handed pitcher, like he is tonight against the Angels' Garrett Richards.

Redick has shown encouraging pop against righties this year, with 32.9% hard-hit and 15.7% soft-hit rates to go with a big 45.7% fly-ball rate. In 545 plate appearances since the start of the 2017 season, he has turned his solid contact into a .358 wOBA and .186 ISO against righties.

Garrett Richards is a good pitcher, and he doesn't represent a great fantasy matchup, but value is thin on this slate, meaning Reddick's numbers put him into play despite the matchup. Just don't go rolling him out in cash games.
