Ryan Braun, OF, Milwaukee Brewers

FanDuel Price: $2,900

It's no secret to this point that Patrick Corbin is having issues with his velocity the past couple starts, and one has to wonder if the good times are going to come crashing to a halt at some point. The velocity concerns have coincided with a drop in his swinging-strike rate, and Corbin was already due for regression to begin with considering his .217 BABIP and 89.9% strand rate.

Corbin's elite overall numbers make this a risky maneuver, but if you think these red flags are a harbinger of things to come, then you could attempt a contrarian Milwaukee Brewers stack against the Arizona Diamondbacks' lefty. Corbin should see reasonable ownership in tournaments, so few will be looking to go the other way and use hitters against him.

Ryan Braun is affordable and continues to show upside against left-handed pitching, producing a 45.6% hard-hit rate in the split to go with a .360 wOBA and .258 ISO since the start of 2017. Consider grouping him with other right-handed Brewers at low ownership.
