PITCHER
Zach Davies, MIL vs. ATL ($38): With two runs or fewer allowed in 10 of his last 12 starts, Davis is a hurler on the rise. He's also won four of his last five outings with a 1.97 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 32 innings while holding opponents to a .537 OPS and 20.6 soft-hit percentage. Atlanta also still owns a league-worst wOBA (.293) and wRC+ (80) against right-handed hurlers.
Julio Urias, LAD vs. PHI ($32): There's plenty of risk chasing Urias because he doesn't pitch deep into games. His strikeout percentage (26.4), matchup and salary are attractive, though. Philadelphia's .283 wOBA and 72 wRC+ are both league-low marks, and the Dodgers are 35-21 at home this season.

CATCHER
Jonathan Lucroy, TEX at COL ($17): With three home runs through his first four games with the Rangers and the Coors Field boost, Lucroy is a high-end option Monday. He sports a .335 wOBA against southpaws, and Tyler Anderson has served up a .457 slugging percentage to right-handed hitters at Coors Field.
FIRST BASE
Adrian Gonzalez, LAD vs. PHI ($14): With consecutive three-hit games and a solid matchup (Zach Eflin has surrendered a .345 wOBA to lefties this season), Gonzalez presents nice value Monday. The veteran first baseman has also posted a solid .354 wOBA and 127 wRC+ against right-handed pitchers the last two seasons.
SECOND BASE
Chase Utley, LAD vs. PHI ($9): As a source of cap relief, Utley is a viable punt option. He owns a respectable .321 WOBA against righties this season, and he fits nicely in a mini-Dodgers stack with his leadoff role against righties.
THIRD BASE
Nolan Arenado, COL vs. TEX ($19): Facing Cole Hamels isn't dreamy, but the veteran lefty hasn't been as sharp lately (3.68), and Arenado boasts a .351 wOBA against southpaws the last two seasons. Arenado has also been even better this year at home against lefties with a .485 wOBA and 192 wRC+.
SHORTSTOP
Corey Seager, LAD vs. PHI ($19): The emerging superstar is showing no signs of slowing with a .363 wOBA since the All-Star break, and he owns a career .397 wOBA and 154 wRC+ against right-handed arms. Zach Eflin, as noted, checks out as a matchup worth targeting.
OUTFIELD
Stephen Piscotty, STL vs. CIN ($21): The sophomore has demolished left-handed pitching to the tune of a .453 wOBA and 189 wRC+ this season. He's a lineup building block against Cody Reed, as the rookie lefty has surrendered a .591 slugging percentage and a .408 wOBA to right-handed hitters.
Miguel Sano, MIN vs. HOU ($18): With a career .498 slugging percentage and .366 wOBA against righties, the streaky Sano has five runs, three home runs and five RBI through his last four games fuelled by a 50 percent hard-hit rate. It's a small sample size, but Sano has proven to run torrid. Collin McHugh has also allowed 13 runs through his last 13.2 innings.
Matt Holliday, STL vs. CIN ($12): Continuing to pick on Cody Reed, Holliday owns a modest cap hit given the plus-matchup. Since 2014, the veteran outfielder owns a .377 wOBA and 141 wRC+ against lefties, too.
