PITCHER
Corey Kluber, CLE vs. MIN ($10,100): Some may be reluctant to look Kluber's way after he got lit up by the Astros in his last start, but Minnesota's dreadful offense is a considerable step down from Houston's middling lineup. The Twins are averaging a measly 3.36 runs per game, and offer a strong bounce-back opportunity considering Kluber has surrendered just 19 runs while racking up 66 strikeouts in eight starts against them since 2014. His price is down a bit due to some unlucky early-season performances, making now the perfect time to buy low considering the right-hander's 2.70 FIP suggests his 4.14 ERA is inflated.
CATCHER
Buster Posey, SFG at ARI ($3,400): Posey's combination of matchup and venue makes him a terrific option, as he's 9-for-28 lifetime against Diamondbacks lefty Patrick Corbin and will be facing him in the extremely hitter-friendly Chase Field. His career .403 wOBA against southpaws indicates success facing lefties is nothing new for the Giants catcher, but he'll be in an even better position to succeed than usual.
FIRST BASE
Justin Smoak, TOR at TEX ($2,700): Smoak has been mashing right-handed pitching to the tune of a .449 wOBA so far in 2016, making him a terrific value at just $2,700. The ex-Rangers prospect still has room for improvement considering his 11.1 percent HR/FB rate this season is actually lower than his career rate of 13.2 percent, but a date with aging starter Colby Lewis and his 1.80 HR/9 allowed could help raise that rate in a hurry. There's no need to spend big on a first baseman when Smoak offers a high level of proven production and upside at an incredibly affordable price.
SECOND BASE
Derek Dietrich, MIA at WAS ($3,300): After a promising .368 wOBA against right-handed pitching in 2015, Dietrich has taken his game to a whole new level with a .412 mark this season. The Marlins leadoff man is still undervalued due to a lack of recognition, but that figures to change soon if he continues to pummel nearly every pitcher he faces in a full-time role. Get him for $3,300 while you still can.
THIRD BASE
Travis Shaw, BOS vs. HOU ($3,400): Shaw has a .450 wOBA against right-handed pitching in 2016, making him a tremendous option against Astros starter Collin McHugh. The third baseman has been a solid choice in this split all season long, and comes in hot with six extra-base hits in his last five games.
SHORTSTOP
Ketel Marte, SEA vs. LAA ($3,100): Marte has been more effective from the left side throughout his time in the majors, which puts him in prime position to succeed against right-hander Jhoulys Chacin. Chacin has allowed a .336 wOBA to hitters from that side in his career, so the second-year switch-hitter is likely to work his way on base against the debuting Angel. Few shortstops have the luxury of batting in front of Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz-caliber hitters, meaning Marte is more likely to cross the plate once he does get on compared to similarly-priced alternatives.
OUTFIELD
Hunter Pence, SFG at ARI ($3,800): All of the factors working in Buster Posey's favor also apply to Pence, except he's an even more impressive 10-for-21 with a 1.685 OPS against Arizona starter Patrick Corbin. Corbin is surrendering a hefty .364 wOBA to right-handed bats this season, which should play right into Pence's hands batting in one of the three stadiums with a park factor above 1.40.
Preston Tucker, HOU at BOS ($2,100): All 16 of Tucker's career homers have come against right-handed pitching, so he should be dangerous against Clay Buchholz and his 1.36 HR/9 at the hitter-friendly Fenway Park. The young outfielder's mediocre play early on has decreased his price tremendously, which makes him a super-affordable, high-upside option in a friendly matchup against a pitcher allowing a disastrous .401 wOBA to lefties in 2016.
Jon Jay, SDP at MIL ($3,100): It'd be a shame to waste an appearance by Milwaukee starter Wily Peralta and his .355 career wOBA allowed to lefties, which is why the affordable Jay makes for an excellent option to round out your lineup. San Diego's leadoff man is familiar with Peralta from his time with the Cardinals, and has managed to find success against him in the past with 10 hits in 30 career at-bats. With a lack of left-handed alternatives in the Padres' lackluster lineup, Jay has the best chance of making the struggling right-hander pay for his inability to retire left-handed bats.
