Odubel Herrera, OF, Philadelphia Phillies

FanDuel Price: $2,400

As the Atlanta Braves seem to be cruising to an NL East title, Kevin Gausman has provided a major boost to the rotation. Since coming over to Atlanta, the righty has posted a 2.61 ERA over 48 1/3 innings pitched, including a solid 31.3% fly-ball rate.

For the season, Gausman has held lefties to a .313 wOBA, and that's not a great sign for the slumping Odubel Herrera. The outfielder owns only a .321 wOBA in this split, and since the All-Star Break, Herrera has dropped down to a .210 batting average, .278 wOBA, and 24.0% hard-hit rate.

The Phillies may have faded in the playoff chase, and it looks like Herrera is unlikely to get them back into the thick of things tonight.
