Kris Bryant, 3B, Chicago Cubs

Price: $4,400

It looks like we're going to get some winds blowing out at Wrigley Field, which, combined with a favorable matchup against San Francisco Giants southpaw Ty Blach, gives the Chicago Cubs the highest implied total (5.77) of the day.

Blach has appeared in 12 games (5 starts) this season, and he owns an ugly 5.63 SIERA with a 6.9% walk rate that sits very close to his brutal 7.6% strikeout rate. He has been especially bad against right-handed sticks over his young career, as evidenced by his 5.03 xFIP.

Kris Bryant has seen his wOBA and isolated slugging (ISO) climb with each season he has been in the majors, and he owns a .420 wOBA and .284 ISO through 185 plate appearances in 2017. He has crushed southpaws for a 45.5% hard-hit rate, 54.5% fly-ball rate and absurd .583 wOBA this season, giving him massive amounts of upside.
