Brandon Belt, 1B, San Francisco Giants

FanDuel Price: $3,700

We don't normally want to use players at AT&T Park on a 15-game slate, but it might be worth making an exception for Brandon Belt.

Belt has always been an underrated player, and most probably don't realize that he's been one of 2018's best hitters, producing top-10 marks in both wOBA (.396) and wRC+ (156) among qualified batters. It's also come with an impressive 44.4% hard-hit rate and .424 expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA). Belt just returned from the disabled list over the weekend, and picked up right where he left off, slugging a dinger on Sunday.

He faces Dan Straily tonight, who's put up a lackluster 4.94 SIERA while allowing a 47.7% hard-hit rate and .420 xwOBA. A full San Francisco Giants stack isn't advisable in such a pitcher-friendly ballpark, but Belt makes for a great low-owned one-off in tournaments.
