Eugenio Suarez, 3B, Cincinnati Reds

FanDuel Price: $3,500

Surely, Wade Miley can't keep up this 2.23 ERA forever, right?

Despite a 4.68 SIERA, 15.8% strikeout rate, and 37.7% hard-hit rate allowed, Miley continues to outdo his peripherals by a wide margin, and his .258 BABIP is far below his career average (.308). Miley posted an ERA well over 5.00 in each of the past two seasons, and this clearly looks like someone poised for regression.

While we're late enough in the year that Miley will almost certainly finish 2018 with a solid ERA, he could still finally get his comeuppance from those poor peripherals in one of his remaining starts.

Particularly in hitter-friendly Miller Park, Eugenio Suarez is a strong candidate to do the honors, holding a 55.9% hard-hit rate, 35.3% ground-ball rate, .448 wOBA, and .299 ISO against southpaws this season.
