Yonder Alonso, 1B, Seattle Mariners

FanDuel Price: $3,000

It's quite likely Yonder Alonso makes his Seattle Mariners debut tonight, and against his old team no less. Alonso has been a pleasant surprise this season, already strutting a career-high 22 dingers after never posting a single season with double-digit home runs.

However, after a red hot start over the first three months, he's slowed down considerably. From April through June, Alonso had a 37.2% hard-hit rate and 50.6% fly-ball rate, which unlocked that newfound power. However, since the start of June, Alonso has mustered just a 23.9% hard-hit rate, and the fly-ball rate has plummeted to 32.8%. Following the All-Star break, he's only slugged two home runs.

Maybe Alonso can bring back some of that magic with his new team, but for the time being we might need him to show more before jumping back on the bandwagon.
