Tim Beckham, SS, Baltimore Orioles

FanDuel Price: $3,300

Doug Fister has been surprisingly serviceable for the Boston Red Sox this season, and part of the reason for that are his solid numbers against right-handed bats. Against righties, he's allowed a 25.0% hard-hit rate and 52.3% ground-ball rate, leading to just a .229 wOBA. He's even managed a 22.6% strikeout rate against them, although that could be some small sample size noise given he's never been a big strikeout guy in his career.

Still, in all it amounts to a tougher matchup than it would appear by the Baltimore Orioles' 4.91 implied team total. Particularly since the Orioles have a predominantly right-handed lineup, they could have a difficult time reaching that mark.

Thus, it's not the best spot to use Tim Beckham, and this is especially the case since you can get the underpriced Corey Seager for just $3,100 instead.
