Austin Hedges, C, San Diego Padres

FanDuel Price: $3,300

Rostering hitters in Coors is a great option, and Austin Hedges seemed to enjoy the thin air of Denver last evening by ripping his 10th long ball of the season. Facing Jon Gray may make putting up a big score tonight a tougher task though.

On the season, Hedges has not hit same-sided arms well, recording only a .313 wOBA and 28.2% strikeout rate. Gray, meanwhile, has dominated in this split, limiting righties to a 25.0% fly-ball rate and 25.0% strikeout rate over 284 total batters.

Gray has struggled in Coors this year, with a 4.73 ERA, but expecting a big night out of Hedges would be a big mistake.
