Kevin Kiermaier, OF, Tampa Bay Rays

Price: $2,900

Kevin Kiermaier's recent tear has been something to behold. After opening the season with an awful .236 wOBA and a soft-hit rate (29.8%) that eclipsed his hard-hit rate (28.0%), the last 30 days have seen Kiermaier explode for a .440 wOBA and .300 ISO on a 37.9% hard-hit rate and 15.2% soft-hit rate.

Small sample sizes can certainly be misleading, but his 88 plate appearances in those 30 days suggest that, even though he's likely got some regression coming for him, he could have some real fantasy upside moving forward.

He's also no stranger to producing well against righties, with a .358 wOBA and .213 ISO in 2017, so tonight's matchup with Yovani Gallardo and his awful 5.51 SIERA make Kiermaier easy to like.
