Miguel Sano, 3B, Minnesota Twins

FanDuel Price: $2,600

Back with the big league club in the midst of a tough 2018 season, Miguel Sano has hit fifth in three of the last five contests. Sano bopped 25-plus home runs in 2016 and 2017, but that form is nowhere to be found this season, and he may be in line for a long night in this one.

Carlos Carrasco has been outstanding this season, logging a 3.21 SIERA over 122 innings pitched with a 27.8% strikeout rate. Righties have had even less of a chance this year as they've got a mere .282 wOBA and .391 slugging percentage off Carrasco.

To pay up for a high-priced arm tonight, some value bats will need to be rostered, but Sano is one we need to shy away from.
