Gerardo Parra, OF, Colorado Rockies

Price: $3,000

Hosting Chicago Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks at Coors Field tonight, the Colorado Rockies' 5.08 implied total is Friday's second-highest mark.

Hendricks is no pushover, but having allowed a 34.1% hard-hit and 36.6% fly-ball rate to left-handed hitters in 2017 leaves him vulnerable in the thin air at Coors.

Gerardo Parra is having an ugly start to the season, but we don't have much of a sample size to draw on yet. Since joining the Rockies in 2016, Parra has a strong 35.6% hard-hit rate against right-handed pitching. Just looking at his work at home, that contact has translated to a reasonable .347 wOBA and .193 isolated slugging (ISO).

He offers solid upside on his own, and being surrounded by an offense that should generate tons of scoring gives his value a nice boost as well.
