Aaron Judge, OF, New York Yankees

FanDuel Price: $4,400

Another member of the Yankees lands on this list, and it may seem a bit surprising. Verlander takes the hill for the Astros at home, and he was roughed up last outing to the tune of nine baserunners over four innings.

But a closer look reveals that, even in a small sample, Verlander has been nasty on same-sided bats. Over 19 plate appearances this season, he's limited right-handed hitters to a .278 wOBA, one extra-base hit, and 26.3% strikeout rate. A year ago, righties had just a .265 wOBA while recording a 31.4% strikeout rate and 3.5% walk rate against JV.

Aaron Judge has a tall task ahead of him tonight, and while he's capable of a dinger in any matchup, it's probably best to save your cash for more appealing spots.
