Alex Bregman, 3B, Houston Astros

FanDuel Price: $4,800

The Houston Astros don't draw the best matchup against David Price, but it's not necessarily one we need to avoid either.

Price is making his first start since taking a line drive off his wrist, so there's always a chance he isn't 100%, and the Astros gain a park factor boost hitting in Fenway Park. They're also rolling out a lineup with eight right-handed hitters, which could make things tougher on Price. The Red Sox hurler has allowed a .330 expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA) to righty bats this season.

Even if you don't feel comfortable going with a full stack, this is a nice spot to get Alex Bregman at lower ownership. Coming off an already fantastic 2017 campaign, Bregman has one-upped himself this year, posting a 37.7% hard-hit rate, 11.5% strikeout rate, .406 wOBA, and .260 ISO. With the Astros back at full strength these days, don't be surprised if they're able to put up some runs tonight.
