Welington Castillo, C, Arizona Diamondbacks

FanDuel Price: $2,700

At home against Christian Friedrich and the Padres, the Diamondbacks have one of the highest implied totals of the night at 5.11, and Arizona batters make for great daily fantasy targets.

Friedrich is sporting a career-worst 4.97 SIERA through nine starts this year and owns a career-high 12.0 percent walk rate. Right-handed hitters make for especially appealing targets against Friedrich, who has a 5.29 xFIP against righties on the season, and that's good news for Welington Castillo.

Castillo is having a solid year from the dish with a .333 wOBA and .183 isolated slugging as well as a 37.5 percent hard-hit rate. His work against left-handed pitching this year has been nothing short of outstanding, with a .365/.420/.703 slash and a .465 wOBA, and he should thrive with such a favorable matchup tonight.
