Odubel Herrera, OF, Philadelphia Phillies

FanDuel Price: $2,500

Facing a young hurler in the Miami Marlins' Sandy Alcantara at a super cheap price point, Odubel Herrera is a matchup we need to exploit, right?

In taking a peek at Herrera's post-All-Star break numbers, maybe not. In 110 plate appearances since the Midsummer Classic, Herrera has been dreadful at the dish, logging a .210 batting average, .289 wOBA, and 24.1% hard-hit rate against righty arms.

Herrera's blistering start over the first two months of 2018, where he posted a .375 wOBA, seem like a distant memory, and the cheap outfielder doesn't make for a strong play tonight.
