Chris Iannetta, C, Seattle Mariners

FanDuel Price: $2,700

Following last year's rookie season in which he posted a shaky 4.16 SIERA, Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez has taken a step back with his production and is currently sporting an ugly 6.51 ERA with a 5.05 SIERA through nine games this season.

Rodriguez has a 4.49 xFIP against right-handed hitting over his career, while that number jumps to 5.51 with a .391 wOBA if we look at his performance against righties this season, making this a great matchup for Chris Iannetta.

Even in what has been a down year for Iannetta, he is slashing .258/.381/.398 with a .346 wOBA and a 32.9 percent hard-hit rate against left-handed pitching. He has a career .371 wOBA and .215 isolated slugging against lefties and should excel against Rodriguez tonight.
