Trea Turner, SS, Washington Nationals

FanDuel Price: $3,400

Trea Turner has been fantastic again this season, showcasing a solid power-speed combo with 16 home runs and 33 stolen bases.

One area in which he has struggled, though, is against same-sided pitching. In 2018, Turner owns a .315 wOBA against righties, including a .140 ISO and an inflated 20.3% strikeout rate.

Tonight's starter for the Nats opponent, Jhoulys Chacin, has actually been really good against right-handed hitters this year, limiting them to a .249 wOBA and 23.9% strikeout rate.

Turner is normally a great shortstop play, but given his tough matchup, there may be better options to consider.
