Bryce Harper, OF, Washington Nationals

FanDuel Price: $4,600

Sure, you'll never see a talent like Bryce Harper go completely unnoticed, but between his high price and other teams in more exciting hitting spots -- including the Chicago Cubs getting a 6.07 implied team total at windy Wrigley Field -- we may not see as many lineups highlighting Harper's big-game potential.

Chad Kuhl is far from the worst pitcher on the board, but if there's one major weakness in his game, it's getting lefties out. In his career, Kuhl has allowed a .375 wOBA and 38.8% hard-hit rate to left-handed bats, which sure looks like a fantastic situation for Harper. Dating back to the start of 2015, he's owned a stellar .425 wOBA and .295 isolated power (ISO) against right-handed pitching.

Following a hot start to the season, Harper hasn't produced as many ceiling games lately, but with a 40.3% hard-hit rate and .408 wOBA through one month, you never know when the next one could be around the corner. While others are spending up for Kris Bryant or Mike Trout, consider opting for Harper instead.
