Miguel Sano, 3B, Minnesota Twins

FanDuel Price: $3,600

On the other hand, if we get the poor version of Tanaka tonight, then that could mean a home-run parade for the Minnesota Twins. Tanaka has allowed at least one dinger in every start this season, and he has an alarming career 16.2% home-run-to-fly-ball rate. Particularly in Yankee Stadium, even when Tanaka is in good form, coughing up a solo shot isn't out of the question.

There are quite a few juicy hitting matchups tonight, including both sides of the game at Coors Field, so given that Tanaka is a strong pitcher overall, using the Twins is admittedly a risky move. However, as a contrarian play in large-field tournaments, the payoff could be huge if they rain down home runs.

Miguel Sano does strike out too often, but he always offers upside with the long ball. In his career against righties, he's posted a 41.7% hard-hit rate and 44.4% fly-ball rate to go with a .234 isolated power (ISO).
