George Springer, OF, Houston Astros

FanDuel Price: $4,000

Staying out west, George Springer is also in a bit of a tough spot against emerging arm Frankie Montas, who's been stellar so far this season.

Against 39 total right-handed batters faced this year, Montas has limited them to a .268 wOBA, including a 10.7% fly-ball rate.

While Montas has given up a few dingers this year (four total), Springer has long known to smash lefties and not righties. Last season, Springer posted better marks across the board against southpaws, including wRC+ (131 versus 114) and hard-hit rate (38.1% versus 31.6%).

Springer is off to a solid start this year, but he may not be worth spending up for in this righty-righty matchup.
