Jake Bauers, 1B, Tampa Bay Rays

FanDuel Price: $3,600

The Tampa Bay Rays are not usually a team we go out of our way to target for offense, but tonight may be an exception against struggling rookie Lucas Giolito.

Giolito has a staggering 6.26 ERA through 21 starts, and he has been victimized by the long ball 19 times. He has allowed a .384 wOBA to left-handed batters and walked more lefties (36) than he has struck out (25).

One left-handed target that stands out in this Tampa Bay offense is the red-hot Jake Bauers, who has homered in three of his last four games. Bauers has put up a .265 ISO and has hit seven of his nine homers against righties this season, giving him a good shot to go yard tonight.

Bauers will certainly go overlooked at a position filled yet again with standout plays, but he has tremendous upside in this spot against the White Sox. Plug him in as an under-the-radar play at a loaded position.
