Anthony Rizzo, 1B, Chicago Cubs

Price: $4,200

Anthony Rizzo has posted at least a .380 wOBA and .240 isolated slugging (ISO) in each of the last three seasons, solidifying himself as one of the MLB's most dangerous bats. His slow start to the 2017 season isn't anything to be too concerned about.

He's especially good against right-handed pitching, teeing off on righties to the tune of a .305/.393/.577 slash, .404 wOBA and .273 ISO on a 38.6% hard-hit and 42.7% fly-ball rate last year. That positions him very well against Brandon McCarthy.

McCarthy, a righty, returned last season from an extended absence after undergoing Tommy John surgery and struggled with a 4.95 ERA and 4.76 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA). The 33-year-old allowed a 35.0% hard-hit and 40.5% fly ball rate to lefties through those 10 games, giving Rizzo some tremendous upside here.
