Carlos Santana, 1B, Cleveland Indians

FanDuel Price: $3,200

This isn't meant to pick on the Cleveland Indians, but they may have a tougher time against Nik Turley than one might expect.

Turley didn't do anything special in his major league debut, giving up four runs in just four innings with four strikeouts. However, prior to his call-up, he was strutting a 3.49 ERA, 33.1% strikeout rate, and 6.8% walk rate in Triple-A.

Turley is 27 years old, so we're not talking about some young, elite prospect, and it remains to be seen if these numbers can translate to the majors. Still, it's enough to give you some pause when considering Cleveland bats, despite a 5.45 implied team total.

In particular, Carlos Santana is noticeably weaker against lefties, with just a .242 wOBA and .111 isolated power (ISO).
