Ian Kinsler, 2B, Boston Red Sox

FanDuel Price: $2,700

Another second baseman is locked into a tough matchup, and despite his premium batting order spot (second), Ian Kinsler and his far cheap price-tag are still something we should steer clear of on Friday.

Against same-sided pitching, Kinsler owns a middling .339 wOBA, paired with a 31.0% hard-hit rate over 356 plate appearances.

Unfortunately for Kinsler, he isn't just facing any right-hander tonight either. Noah Syndergaard faces the Red Sox tonight, and he has recorded a 27.3% strikeout rate and 21.3% hard-hit rate against righties in 2018.
