Matt Kemp, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers

Price: $2,500

Another Dodgers bat who comes into play specifically against southpaws, Matt Kemp has crushed the ball against lefties this year, turning in a 46.5% hard-hit rate, 7.1% soft-hit rate and 46.5% fly-ball rate. That contact hasn't translated to overly consistent production, with a .338 wOBA, but his .213 ISO reveals a ton of upside.

As I mentioned for Freese, Tyler Anderson tends to give up a lot of fly balls, and he's allowing especially strong contact to righties, with a 33.7% hard-hit and a 39.2% fly-ball rate, which has translated to a 4.19 xFIP against them.

Kemp doesn't have a great floor in this matchup, but he offers big upside relative to his price tag.
