Carlos Correa, SS, Houston Astros

FanDuel Price: $2,900

It feels almost criminal to get Carlos Correa at this price.

Among the 26 qualifying shortstops, Correa ranks 6th in wOBA (.356 wOBA) and 9th in ISO (.200) on the year. He has been outstanding over the past two weeks, boasting a .370 wOBA and .234 ISO in that span, and he has a huge 36.5% hard-hit rate against left-handed pitching over his young career.

Rich Hill's 3.61 SIERA indicates he probably hasn't been pitching quite as well as his 2.31 ERA would have you believe. He has always done worse against right-handed hitters, struggling to a 4.32 xFIP over his career.

This play is mostly about how under-priced Correa is compared to his production and upside, but knowing that Hill isn't too troublesome of a matchup is an added bonus.
