Hunter Renfroe, OF, San Diego Padres

Price: $2,200

Hunter Renfroe isn't a high-floor option tonight, but his upside is huge for a guy who is priced only $200 above the minimum.

Colorado Rockies righty Jon Gray was stellar in 2017 (and is off to a great start to 2018), but even he's not immune to the effects of Coors Field as the San Diego Padres have a reasonable 4.36 implied total tonight.

Renfroe has been hugely underwhelming against right-handed pitching in his career, only managing a .280 wOBA. His batted-ball profile hasn't been bad, though, with a 33.3% hard-hit rate and 41.8% fly-ball rate in this split, and his .198 ISO reflects some decent pop. Hard-hit fly balls are money at Coors, and while a goose-egg wouldn't be all that surprising, Renfroe has some serious home-run upside tonight.
