Aaron Judge, OF, New York Yankees

FanDuel Price: $4,500

Aaron Judge was able to homer off Max Scherzer in the All-Star Game, but it's hard to see him performing well against Noah Syndergaard. While he has the power to pay off his price on any given night, his floor is scary low in the opener to this weekend's Subway Series in New York.

Judge's inability to make consistent contact -- as indicated by his 31.2% strikeout rate -- makes him a high-risk, high-reward DFS player in most spots. However, the reward isn't worth the risk against Thor.

Syndergaard has battled injuries his entire career, but he's been extremely effective, particularly against righties, when healthy. In his career, he has held them to a .262 wOBA, including a 29.7% strikeout rate, 27.9% fly-ball rate, and 24.7% hard-hit rate. Those superb marks should keep you off Judge on Friday.
