Cory Spangenberg, OF, San Diego Padres

FanDuel Price: $2,500

Tonight's matchup between the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres is one you're going to want some exposure to, especially with Thursday's main slate having just four games. This matchup's 10.0 over/under is the highest on the slate, and a full 2 runs higher than any of the others.

Taijuan Walker will be taking the mound for Arizona, and he's coming off a career-worst 4.13 SIERA, with a 4.45 xFIP against left-handed hitters in 2016. He has continued to struggle with lefties this year, allowing a .334 wOBA on a 35.0% hard-hit rate.

Cory Spangenberg hasn't shown a ton of promise from the plate over his career, but he has been hitting second for the Padres recently. with a price tag this low on a really short main slate, the upside he gains simply from likely seeing a lot of plate appearances for what will likely be a high-scoring Padres offense is enough to offer some nice value.
