Anthony Rizzo, 1B, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $4,200

Anthony Rizzo has some delightful batted-ball numbers against right-handers, racking up a 39.4% hard-hit rate, 46.7% fly-ball rate and .421 wOBA.

He gets a nice matchup against Carlos Martinez, who has had a tough time with left-handed hitters this season. Against southpaws, his strikeout rate drops to 15.7% while his walk rate climbs to 11.0%. Those sit at 24.9% and 5.7%, respectively, versus righties.

Martinez's 54.2% ground-ball rate against lefties dents the upside here a bit, but Rizzo's fly-ball rate at home is a tasty 49.7%. Martinez is also surrendering a 34.2% hard-hit rate to left-handers.

For the cherry on top, the wind be howling out at Wrigley today.
