Billy Hamilton, OF, Cincinnati Reds

FanDuel Price: $2,500

Billy Hamilton has been downright awful for the Cincinnati Reds in 2018, and flipping to the right side of the plate tonight, he could be in for a long evening.

Against southpaws this season, the switch-hitting Hamilton owns a 26.7% strikeout rate and .285 wOBA, and it's mighty hard for the speedster to steal second base without getting to first.

Wade Miley, tonight's opposing starting pitcher, has dominated righties with his cutter this year, holding them to a 22.5% fly-ball rate and .274 wOBA overall. Hamilton can provide some fantasy value in the stolen base category, but it's not looking good against Miley.
