Eduardo Nunez, 3B, Boston Red Sox

FanDuel Price: $2,100

In 2018, the Boston Red Sox have had no equal against right-handed pitching, leading the league in weighted on-base average (.343), ranking second in isolated power (ISO) at a .194 clip, and striking out the least, at just a 19.0% rate. So with a righty on the mound in Masahiro Tanaka, why are we fading a Red Sox bat?

Quite simply, because of Tanaka's recent brilliance. Dating back to July 24th, Tanaka has fired 64 2/3 innings with a 2.87 xFIP, 27.2% strikeout rate, and 27.6% fly-ball rate.

Despite being near the site minimum in salary, avoid the temptation to roster Eduardo Nunez. He's hit same-sided arms for only a .293 wOBA, and while he strikes out very little in this split (14.4% strikeout rate), his .139 ISO shows he offers very little pop, especially against Tanaka.
