Billy Hamilton, OF, Cincinnati Reds

FanDuel Price: $2,600

It has been a rough year at the dish for outfielder Billy Hamilton of the Cincinnati Reds. He owns a putrid .275 wOBA mark, thanks to a poor .236 batting average, leading the speedster to a career-worst 29 stolen bases.

Making matters tougher, Hamilton faces Cole Hamels, which means the switch-hitter will flip to the right-handed side of the plate. As a righty, Hamilton owns only a .276 wOBA, including a 29.6% strikeout rate and 29.4% hard-hit rate.

Hamels has had no problem limiting righty damage in 2018, striking them out 23.8% of the time, and Hamilton looks like one we should avoid.
