Adrian Gonzalez, 1B, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $2,500

Adrian Gonzalez is getting the start for the injured Cody Bellinger again tonight, but this is one punt you can probably pass on.

Gonzalez has shown painfully little upside in 2017, with just one home run and a .085 isolated power (ISO) over 195 plate appearances. He has just a .301 expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA) against righties.

Also, the matchup against Gerrit Cole is modest at best, with the Los Angeles Dodgers getting just a 4.28 implied team total. Cole has a 21.8% strikeout rate and 4.02 xFIP against lefty bats this season.
