Lorenzo Cain, OF, Milwaukee Brewers

FanDuel Price: $4,200

Due to injuries in the past, understanding Julio Urias's platoon splits can be a bit challenging. But a deep dive shows he's actually been pretty tough on opposite-handed hitters.

For his career, spanning 366 total right-handed batters faced, Urias has been dominant in this spot, limiting those bats to a .292 wOBA, 27.2% hard-hit rate, and 31.3% fly-ball rate.

It all adds up to a tough evening for Lorenzo Cain. He was solid against lefties with a .422 wOBA in 2018, but his 30.2% fly-ball rate and tough matchup could make him a challenge to roster at this price.
