Robinson Chirinos, C, Texas Rangers

Price: $2,200

Going back to the Texas side of that A's-Rangers matchup, Sean Manaea has been particularly bad against right-handed bats, allowing a 45.9% hard-hit rate, 12.2% soft-hit rate and 34.1% fly-ball rate.

Robinson Chirinos is more than capable of taking advantage of a southpaw who gives up strong contact. In 124 plate appearances against lefties over the last two seasons, he has notched a 41.9% hard-hit rate, 10.8% soft-hit rate and 45.9% fly-ball rate. This has translated to a hefty .407 wOBA and .257 ISO in the split.

Our models have Chirinos as a top-three point-per-dollar bat on today's slate.
