Seth Smith, OF, Baltimore Orioles

FanDuel Price: $3,000

Playing at home with a great matchup against Rangers right-hander Andrew Cashner, the Baltimore Orioles' 5.31 implied total is Monday's third-highest mark.

Cashner is in the midst of the worst year of his career, struggling to an ugly 5.70 SIERA while his 10.4% walk rate is hovering really close to his 11.6% strikeout rate.

Seth Smith hasn't had a great campaign, but Cashner has an especially egregious 6.10 xFIP against left-handed bats. With a decent 33.8% hard-hit rate and .319 wOBA against righties, this matchup leaves Smith offering some solid value, especially if he hits out of the leadoff spot.
