Miguel Montero, C, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $2,400

Miguel Montero has struggled this season, but that's happening with an inordinately low .217 BABIP, the lowest of his career. He has hit right-handed pitching well over his career, with a .267/.353/.434 slash with a .341 wOBA and .167 isolated slugging, and even with his struggles this season, he's sporting a 28.0 percent hard-hit rate against righties in 2016.

He also has a terrific matchup tonight against Jimmy Nelson and the Brewers. Nelson hasn't looked great over his first four seasons in general, with a 4.28 SIERA, and through 19 games this year his SIERA is a career-worst 4.93.

Nelson has been especially bad against left-handed hitters, allowing a .326 wOBA with a 5.45 xFIP on the season, and even in the midst of a down year, this is a great spot for Montero.
