David Peralta, OF, Arizona Diamondbacks

FanDuel Price: $3,500

The Arizona Diamondbacks may have played their way out of the NL West chase, but that's certainly no fault of David Peralta's. Since August 1st, the outfielder owns a .407 wOBA and 59.4% hard-hit rate over 167 plate appearances.

But with a lefty on the mound, Peralta may not be a lock, facing Cole Hamels out in the desert this evening. Against lefties, Peralta has recorded a .292 wOBA and 24.6% strikeout rate, versus marks of a .402 wOBA and 18.0% strikeout rate versus righties in 2018.

Despite a recent hot run at the plate, there are better outfield options available tonight.
