Josh Reddick, OF, Houston Astros

Price: $2,800

Josh Reddick's numbers this season are nothing special -- .308 wOBA and .149 ISO -- but he's making some promising contact against righties, with a 31.2% hard-hit rate and 45.1% fly-ball rate.

Despite that good contact, he's sporting only a .246 batting average on balls in play (BABIP), compared to his .293 career average against righties, so there's still room for optimism that he can produce decent numbers to close out the year. You don't have to go on blind faith for his regression either, as he's already got two home runs in his last six games.

Tonight's matchup puts him in an especially good spot to produce, taking on Toronto Blue Jays righty Marco Estrada, whose 30.7% hard-hit rate and 55.7% fly-ball rate have him allowing 1.75 home runs per nine innings this season. His 5.39 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) is a career-worst mark, and Reddick is a high-upside way to get exposure to the matchup for cheap.
