Matt Olson, 1B, Oakland Athletics

FanDuel Price: $3,800

It's no secret Felix Hernandez is no longer the pitcher he once was, but with the Oakland Athletics drawing a mediocre 4.19 implied total, they're unlikely to see high ownership.

Hernandez has particularly struggled against left-handed bats, allowing a 40.8% hard-hit rate, 38.9% fly-ball rate, and .397 expected weighed on-base average (xwOBA) to them this season.

That makes Matt Olson a solid bet to do some damage tonight. Against righties, Olson has produced a 49.5% hard-hit rate and 44.8% fly-ball rate, helping him to a .391 xwOBA and .249 ISO. Particularly with Hernandez making his first start since September 8, there could be some sneaky stack potential here.
