Matt Olson, 1B, Oakland Athletics

Price: $2,900

Matt Olson is bizarrely cheap tonight, considering he has 6 RBI, 4 extra-base hits, 4 runs and 1 stolen base (and a total of 105.8 FanDuel points) over his last 10 games. Generally, when we get a hitter as good as Olson with a low price-tag, it's because of a recent dip in production. But that's not the case with Olson, who has a hit in six of his last seven games.

The 24-year-old has shown a ton of promise in his young Major League career, particularly against right-handed pitching. He has put together a 40.6% hard-hit rate, 14.7% soft-hit rate and 46.4% fly-ball rate against righties, which has translated to an impressive .408 wOBA and .336 isolated slugging (ISO).

He's up against a righty tonight in Texas' Doug Fister, who has a 4.70 xFIP against left-handed bats since 2017. So, Olson has no business being priced this low. Be sure to take advantage.
