    The San Francisco Giants lost to the Dodgers 6-4 on Friday, which likely put an end to their playoff chances. On the mound Saturday will be Kai-Wei Teng for the Giants, against Dodgers ace Tyler Glasnow. Teng has not faced the Dodgers in the past; however, based on how the season has gone for him, he will need to get off to an early start, otherwise the Dodgers could run away with this game. He has a 2-4 win-loss record with an earned run average of 6.41, going up against Glasnow, who has a 3-3 win-loss record and an ERA of 3.06.

    Here is who to target from the Giants:

    Catcher Patrick Bailey ($2,500):

    At that price tag, even just the slightest production from Bailey will suffice. In 16 games, Bailey has garnered 15 hits, 13 runs batted in, and four home-runs, including a walk-off grand slam in extra innings against the Dodgers earlier in September. Bailey has a .333 batting average against Glasnow and as a switch-hitter, he should be able to get on base at least once against the Dodgers. Bailey is a value catcher for Saturday's slate. 

    Outfielder Heliot Ramos ($3,800):

    Ramos was the leadoff batter on Friday and hit a home-run off Clayton Kershaw in the top of the first inning. On the season, Ramos has a higher batting average (.259) against right-handed pitchers than left-handed pitchers (.252), while having 258 more at-bats against righties than lefties. Against Glasnow, he has gone 1-for-5; however, he has also drawn two walks. Expect Ramos to be on base against the Dodgers, and at that price tag, it's all you can ask for from him. 

    First Baseman Wilmer Flores ($3,600):

    Flores has had an inconsistent season, batting .242, while hitting 16 home-runs and 72 runs batted in. Against Glasnow, he has hit two home-runs, going 3-for-8 with four runs batted in. Among all the active Giants batters, he has the highest batting average against the Dodgers ace, .375. His price tag as a first baseman is average and should be added to DFS lineups for Saturday's slate.

    Giants baters to avoid against Tyler Glasnow:

    Other Giants batters, such as third baseman Matt Chapman (4-for-15 against Glasnow) and first baseman Rafael Devers (9-for-24 against Glasnow), had too high a price tag to take for Saturday's slate. Devers, in particular, has had a dismal 0.38 batting average against the Dodgers this season, and should be avoided at his $5,400 price point.
