Matt Kemp, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers

Price: $3,000

The Los Angeles Dodgers' offense offers a huge amount of upside tonight. They have the main slate's second-highest implied total (5.77), play in the day's most hitter-friendly park, and draw a great matchup against Texas Rangers' southpaw Mike Minor, who is allowing a 38.7% hard-hit and 44.4% fly-ball rate on the year.

Matt Kemp has bounced back from a shaky 2017 campaign to post some decent numbers in 2018, including a .344 wOBA and .188 ISO. He has also been making some of the best contact of his career, with his highest ever hard-hit rate (43.0%) along with a 38.7% fly-ball and 13.8% soft-hit rate.

His power has been especially pronounced against southpaws, with a 47.3% hard-hit, 7.3% soft-hit and 48.2% fly-ball rate, which have translated to a .364 wOBA and .250 ISO.
