Jorge Bonifacio, OF, Kansas City Royals

FanDuel Price: $2,400

It's not ideal that Jorge Bonifacio tends to hit towards the back of the Kansas City Royals' order, but he's in a great spot with a low salary tonight, which more than makes up for that concern.

The rookie's production hasn't been anything special yet, and his salary sits only $400 above the minimum, but he has actually been making some outstanding contact, ranking 33rd in average exit velocity and 13th in average batted-ball distance among hitters with at least 10 batted balls over the past 15 days.

The Kansas City Royals have the day's third-highest implied total as they take on Chicago White Sox righty Dylan Covey, who has really struggled through his first three major league starts, sporting a 6.02 SIERA and a 12.3% walk rate that sits higher than his 9.2% strikeout rate.
