Joey Gallo, OF, Texas Rangers

FanDuel Price: $2,700

Joey Gallo has gotten a lot of love in these parts this season, and while it hasn't always worked out, he continues to be a great high-risk, high-reward play when we can get him on the cheap. He could also be starting to heat up, now slugging three home runs over his last five starts.

The Texas Rangers get a solid matchup against Jordan Zimmermann tonight, but considering Zimmermann is actually putting up decent numbers, the Rangers may not get as much attention as they deserve. After all, Zimmermann's 3.92 SIERA and 22.6% strikeout rate don't necessarily look like the most shoo-in matchup.

But if we go back to last year, we see a Zimmerman who posted a woeful 6.08 ERA, 5.22 SIERA, and 14.5% strikeout rate, while allowing a .365 expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA). He didn't exactly impress the year before either (4.81 SIERA).

Gallo owns a .298 career isolated power (ISO) versus righties, and this looks like a good time to trust the larger sample size.
