Yoan Moncada, 2B, Chicago White Sox

FanDuel Price: $3,900

Similar to the Brewers against Kyle Hendricks, chances are most people won't be looking to load up on the Chicago White Sox against Jake Junis. The White Sox are showing just a 4.07 implied team total, and Junis is off to a solid start this season.

However, don't overlook Yoan Moncada, who has some tantalizing power. Moncada has posted a 51.1% hard-hit rate in the early going, and that coincides with a massive 100.5 mile per hour average exit velocity that he's produced on fly balls and line drives. In his young career, he also owns a .365 wOBA and .243 ISO against right-handed pitching. Throw in the fact that he can steal the occasional bag, and it's hard to not love the nightly upside.

Of course, Moncada comes with a 39.6% strikeout rate, so while the boom is big, so is the bust. Still, Junis isn't a high-strikeout pitcher as he only has 17.3% career strikeout rate versus lefty bats, albeit over just 60 innings. Bet on the upside and give Moncada a whirl in GPPs.
