PITCHER
Rick Porcello, BOS vs. ARI ($45): Porcello has been the epitome of consistency the majority of the season and has been particularly sharp over his last six starts, scoring between 22.0 to 28.6 fantasy points over that span, including 28 apiece in each of his last three trips to the mound. He'll face a D-backs team that has struck out at a 23.2 percent clip against righties, while generating a mediocre .311 wOBA. He's also been stellar at home, going 11-0 with a 3.12 ERA and .295 wOBA allowed over 78 innings.
Tanner Roark, WAS vs. ATL ($43): The Braves are undeniably hitting much better in recent games but have still only generated a .295 wOBA against right-handed pitching. Roark brings an abundance of upside, as evidenced by the fact that he's scored 20 to 26 fantasy points in his last three starts, as well as 31 fantasy points in another over his last five. He also shut down this Braves squad in his only other meeting against them this season, scoring 28.6 fantasy points back on Apr. 13 on the strength of seven scoreless innings. Roark boasts a solid 2.54 ERA at home this season, and a stellar 1.82 figure (along with a 5-2 record) in day games.

CATCHER
Buster Posey, SF vs. BAL ($18): Posey's .382 wOBA, .214 ISO and 37.8 percent hard contact rate against southpaws dovetails nicely with the .348 wOBA that Orioles starter Wade Miley has given up to right-handed hitters this season. Miley has also yielded 16 of his 19 homers on the season to righty bats, while Posey has a massive .400 wOBA and .286 ISO when facing left-handed pitching at home.
FIRST BASE
Anthony Rizzo, CHC vs. STL ($21) Cardinals starter Mike Leake tends to give up a fair number of home runs, and Anthony Rizzo happens to be very good at hitting them. He also carries a colossal .419 wOBA and .295 ISO against right-handed pitching, along with a 38.5 percent hard contact rate. He's reached base safely in 11 straight games and has three round-trippers over the last six contests. Leake has given up 11 homers and a .323 wOBA to left-handed hitters, and a .337 wOBA and 5.01 ERA over 70 road innings this season.
SECOND BASE
Trea Turner, WAS vs. ATL ($12): Turner's price is definitely worthy of a double take, particularly considering his production over the last two games. He has scored 18 and 24 fantasy points over those contests, respectively, and started August with four straight games with double-digit fantasy points as well. He brings a .372 wOBA against right-handed pitching into Sunday's game, while Braves starter Tyrell Jenkins has given up a .362 wOBA to right-handed hitters that rises to a whopping .451 when facing them on the road, where they've also made hard contact against him at a 39.1 percent rate.
THIRD BASE
Eugenio Suarez, CIN at MIL ($15): Brewers starter Wily Peralta turned in a surprisingly effective performance in his return to the big leagues Tuesday against the Braves, but given his struggles in both the majors and Triple-A this year, I'm not sold after one start. Suarez serves as a cost-effective way to exploit Peralta's vulnerability to right-handed hitters, which is evidenced by the .432 wOBA, 22.6 percent HR/FB rate and 33.6 percent hard contact he's yielded to that handedness. Suarez has 10 homers and a 31.4 percent hard contact rate against right-handed pitching, as well as a pair of homers in his last three games.
SHORTSTOP
Jhonny Peralta, STL at CHC ($10): Peralta has a .325 wOBA, .222 ISO, 34.2 percent hard contact rate and five of his six homers on the season against right-handed pitching, and he has hit safely in seven of his last nine games. He also boasts an extensive and successful history against Cubs starter John Lackey, who's allowed 14 of 19 homers to right-handed hitters along with a 33.6 percent hard contact rate this year.
OUTFIELD
Adam Duvall, CIN at MIL ($14): Duvall is another cost-conscious, high-upside option to throw out against Wily Peralta, whose problems against right-handed hitters were detailed earlier. The Reds slugger also boasts a .352 wOBA, .300 ISO and 36.5 percent hard contact rate against right-handed pitching, along with a .500/.556/1.125 line over 16 at-bats in Miller Park this season, including three homers and eight RBI.
Mark Trumbo, BAL at SF ($11): Trumbo shapes up as a quintessential tournament option Sunday, as he has sky-high upside but is considerably underpriced, presumably due to an admittedly tough matchup against Giants starter Johnny Cueto. Despite the less-than-ideal scenario, Trumbo is nowhere near an $11 player, as evidenced most recently by the 14 and 24 fantasy points he scored in two of his last three games, a span that includes two homers and seven RBI. Trumbo also has a .374 wOBA, .264 ISO and 39.5 percent hard contact rate against right-handed pitching, making him a viable option in virtually any situation.
Jorge Soler, CHC vs. STL ($11): Soler is another slugger to target Mike Leake with, albeit from the opposite side of the plate from Rizzo. Leake has yielded a .375 wOBA and 40 percent hard contact rate to right-handed hitters on the road, while Soler has a .370 wOBA against right-handed pitching at Wrigley Field, and he has hit safely in six of the seven games since his return from an extended stay on the DL due to a hamstring injury.
