Pitcher
Julio Teheran, ATL vs. COL ($8,700): There's no shortage of pitching options Sunday but if saving a few bucks is the goal, Teheran and his strikeout potential merit consideration. Though he only fanned eight in two July starts prior to the All-Star break, Teheran struck out at least seven in each of his five May appearances. He's also been dominant against current Rockies, allowing a .169 batting average against while whiffing 19 batters over 65 at-bats.
Catcher
Russell Martin, TOR at OAK ($2,200): Having sat out Saturday, Martin appears to be a lock to start Sunday and his price makes him an awfully appealing high-upside buy. Though he's only gone long once in his last 10 games, Martin has amassed 11 hits in that span and possesses a catcher-respectable .309 wOBA against lefties such as Oakland's Rich Hill.
First Base
Adrian Gonzalez, LOS at ARI ($2,900): Let's get the ugly stuff out of the way first – Gonzalez is 0-for-11 in his career against likely starter Robbie Ray. But Gonzalez is showing signs of breaking out of a season-long funk, having collected seven hits in his last four games and 12 hits in his last seven appearances. Maybe the power drought is a long-term issue, but Gonzalez can still square the ball up.
Second Base
Ian Kinsler, DET vs. KAN ($3,500): The price tag is a bit hefty for the position, though nine others check in with equal or greater salaries. Kinsler has launched 13 of his 17 homers off right-handed pitching and is 6-of-19 with four RBI in his career against Sunday's projected starter Yordano Ventura, who has allowed 14 runs in his last three starts. Column favorite also Devon Travis ($2,400) remains a solid cheap option despite the matchup with Hill.
Third Base
Anthony Rendon, WAS vs PIT ($3,100): Exploiting the Nats lineup against Chad Kuhl, who has allowed nine runs in 13.1 innings over three starts, is challenging as the team's top bats are all flirting with $4,000 tags. Rendon offers a nice compromise, as he's fourth among the team's regulars with a .320 wOBA against right-handers.
Shortstop
Trea Turner, WAS vs. PIT ($2,200): Turner remains a major gamble as manager Dusty Baker refuses to give Turner a secure daily job despite the team's injury struggles. Turner has four hits in four major league games and as long as he plays, he's an even cheaper way to buy into the Nats against Kuhl. If Turner remains a reserve, the Cubs' Javier Baez ($2,900) and his .445 wOBA and .250 ISO against lefties like Cole Hamels makes for a solid replacement.
Outfield
Stephen Piscotty, STL vs. MIA ($2,800): Piscotty is in a groove coming out of the All-Star break, collecting five hits and two walks in 13 plate appearances. The Marlins send Adam Conley to the mound and Piscotty's been terrific against left-handed pitching all season as well, owning a .462 wOBA while launching four home runs in 80 at-bats.
Adam Jones, BAL at TAM ($3,000): Rays starter Jake Odorizzi has been plagued by the long ball, giving up 17 home runs in 19 starts, and at least one in six of his last seven outings. While Jones has been merely okay against right-handers, sporting a .344 wOBA and .215 ISO, he's had success against Odorizzi over his career, going 10-for-25 with two long balls.
Adam Duvall, CIN vs. MIL ($3,000): Duvall has had success in a small sample size against Sunday's starter Zach Davies, going 3-for-6 with a home run and four RBI. Duvall's got a solid wOBA of .345 and a .310 ISO against righties and Davies has had trouble keeping the ball in the ballpark, having allowed 10 home runs in his last 10 starts including two in 5.2 innings against the Reds in a May 27 outing.
