Joc Pederson, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $2,500

Los Angeles Dodgers bats offer all kinds of upside today -- their 5.05 implied total is the highest on the slate as they travel to the hitter-friendly Chase Field in a matchup with Taijuan Walker.

Walker is coming off what may have been the worst season of his career in 2016, having posted a 4.13 SIERA. He hasn't been much better to start 2017, with a 3.88 SIERA while allowing a 34.7% hard-hit rate through three starts.

Joc Pederson's production has been uninspiring so far, but with a 36.0% hard-hit rate and a 40.0% fly-ball rate, I'm not too concerned about that lack of production. He owns a career 39.8% hard-hit rate, .358 wOBA and .234 isolated slugging (ISO) against right-handed pitching, and our projections have him as the top point-per-dollar value among today's batters.
