Mookie Betts, OF, Boston Red Sox

FanDuel Price: $4,600

As one of the most expensive players on the board, it will be tough to afford Mookie Betts if you plan on using Kershaw tonight. But it might be best to avoid using Betts anyway, in a potentially tough spot against Dylan Bundy.

Despite relatively modest numbers on the season,. Bundy has turned it up a notch recently. He has a ridiculous 34.2% strikeout rate over his last six starts, and looks like he might be starting to live up to his status as a former top prospect. Although he's also allowed a 40.7% hard-hit rate over that same span, it's difficult to get excited about going against that punchout rate when you're paying this kind of premium for Betts. It also doesn't help that Betts is dealing with a bruised thumb that he suffered on Sunday.

If you're paying up for an outfielder, Giancarlo Stanton looks to be in a much cushier spot against the struggling Matt Harvey, and costs $600 less than Betts.
