Corey Dickerson, OF, Tampa Bay Rays

FanDuel Price: $3,500

Corey Dickerson has put up numbers this season, but he has a 29.6% strikeout rate and 21.9% hard-hit rate over the last 14 days, which are hardly confidence-building numbers. He also has just a .312 xwOBA this season, indicating he could be playing over his head a bit.

Of course, we know he's still very capable of knocking the ball out of the park -- he hit two dingers a few days ago -- but the matchup against Collin McHugh isn't ideal. In his two 2017 starts, McHugh has posted a 25.6% punchout rate and has proven capable of handling lefties in his career with a 21.7% rate and 3.79 xFIP since the start of 2014.

With the Tampa Bay Rays getting a 4.33 implied team total, there are better spots to look for home runs.
