Starling Marte, OF, Pittsburgh Pirates

FanDuel Price: $3,200

The Pittsburgh Pirates will miss the playoffs this year, but they can play the role of spoiler versus the Chicago Cubs.

Unfortunately for the Pirates, they will face a tough left-hander in Jon Lester. The southpaw has been awesome against righties this year, limiting them to a .309 wOBA and 31.6% hard-hit rate thanks to his top-shelf cutter.

Starling Marte has struggled with the platoon advantage, recording a .308 wOBA and 29.1% fly-ball rate in 2018. All in all, it's tough to spend $3,200 on Marte in this spot.
