Alex Avila, C, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $2,900

As of this writing, there's no over/under on this game, but the Chicago Cubs are -200 favorites, and even with the wind blowing in at Wrigley, you can expect them to have a strong implied total in this one.

Alex Avila is another left-handed batter who is significantly underpriced in this great matchup with Kuhl.

Avila has made absurd contact against right-handed pitching this season, turning in a 55.7% hard-hit rate with only a 4.0% soft-hit rate, which has translated to a .391 wOBA and .230 ISO.

He has been making especially good contact in recent games, ranking 12th in average exit velocity among the 343 hitters with at least 10 batted balls over the past 15 days.
