Ian Kinsler, 2B, Los Angeles Angels

Price: $2,600

Ian Kinsler is another right-handed Angels bat getting a bump in value from today's matchup with Fulmer.

Like Pujols, Kinsler is not producing well this year, and at his age is showing signs of decline. Despite this, he still offers big potential against a right-handed pitcher, thanks to his strong contact numbers.

In 615 plate appearances over the last 2 seasons, he has tagged righties for a 33.7% hard-hit and 45.0% fly-ball rate. This has only translated to a .288 wOBA, but with an incredibly low .228 batting average on balls in play (BABIP) -- compared to his .283 career-average -- that low production masks the fact that he has been hitting the ball well.

The Angels have a solid 4.66 implied total tonight, and Kinsler is a nice, cheap way to get exposure to that offense.
