Paul Goldschmidt, 1B, Arizona Diamondbacks

Price: $5,400

It's probably for the best that there are no truly high-priced pitchers to entice you today, because getting exposure to the Coors Field matchup between the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks -- which will be costly but the game boasts an eye-popping 12.0 over-under -- is something we want to do.

Rockies' lefty Kyle Freeland has a weak 4.85 SIERA through 25 games in his rookie season. He owns an especially rough 4.96 xFIP against right-handed bats, and Arizona's 6.07 implied total is Friday's highest mark.

Paul Goldschmidt has been terrific against left-handed pitching this year. He's turned in a .420 wOBA and .270 ISO against lefties with a 50.0% hard-hit rate, 7.8% soft-hit rate and 40.0% fly-ball rates. A matchup with Freeland at Coors gives Goldy ridiculous upside.
