Austin Barnes, C, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $2,400

Catcher is pretty thing on tonight's slate, and despite being only $400 above minimum salary, numberFire's models project Austin Barnes for the highest fantasy score among today's catchers.

Barnes has a strong .373 wOBA on a 34.6% hard-hit rate in 81 plate appearances against southpaws this season, and that is very encouraging against Atlanta Braves lefty Sean Newcomb. He's posted a weak 4.83 xFIP against right-handed bats to start his big league career.
