Bryce Harper, OF, Washington Nationals

Price: $5,000

It doesn't quite match the marks in Coors, but the Washington Nationals boast a solid 4.60 implied total tonight in a matchup with Ubaldo Jimenez and the Orioles.

Jimenez struggled to the tune of a 4.75 SIERA and 11.3% walk rate in 2016, and hasn't looked any better through six games this season. He owns a 5.80 SIERA and a 15.0% walk rate and has allowed a huge .387 wOBA to left-handed sticks. Numbers like that spell trouble against Bryce Harper.

Harper is all the way back after a down year in 2016, having opened the season with an absurd .516 wOBA through 131 plate appearances. That's not exactly sustainable, but he's posting a 37.0% hard-hit rate with only an 8.6% soft-hit rate, and there's no reason to believe he's not going to keep dominating.
