Javier Baez, 2B, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $2,800

As was the case for most of last week, the Chicago Cubs are the top offense on today's slate. The forecast calls for winds blowing out at Wrigley field, they have a great matchup against San Francisco Giants lefty Ty Blach, and their 5.77 implied total is the day's highest mark.

Blach's numbers have been pretty egregious in the young 2017 season, as he currently owns a 5.63 SIERA, 7.6% strikeout rate and 6.9% walk rate.

Javier Baez doesn't offer anything special from the dish, but Blach has been especially bad against right-handed hitters over his career (with a 5.03 xFIP), and with a competent .329 career wOBA against southpaws, Baez is a good way to get cheap exposure to the Cubs' offense.
