Hanley Ramirez, 1B, Boston Red Sox

FanDuel Price: $3,100

Hanley Ramirez looks like one of the more affordable first basemen tonight, but in spite of the Boston Red Sox getting a nice 5.17 implied team total, he has a poor matchup against Lance Lynn.

Lynn has struggled against left-handed hitting throughout his career -- hence the high total -- but on the flip side, he's always been tough on righties. In 2017, against righty bats, he has a 26.4% strikeout rate, 5.5% walk rate, and 3.51 xFIP. Despite Ramirez's low price, you're better off focusing on the other side of the plate against Lynn.
