Charlie Blackmon, OF, Colorado Rockies

Price: $4,300

Hosting the Philadelphia Phillies and righty Zach Eflin at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies' 5.99 implied total is the day's highest by a big margin.

Eflin had a rough first two Major League seasons, posting a SIERA worse than 5.00 in both 2015 and 2016. He has shown huge improvement in 2018, with a solid 3.97 mark over 23 starts, but his 38.7% fly-ball rate is a big red flag at Coors Field, where fly balls really carry in the thin air.

Charlie Blackmon has seen a significant dip in production this year, but he continues to make very good contact against right-handed pitching, turning in a 37.5% hard-hit rate and 35.5% fly-ball rate. That has translated to a solid but unspectacular .369 wOBA and .222 ISO overall, though that includes games played away from Coors Field.

Just looking at his 189 plate appearances at home against righties, Blackmon boasts a .405 wOBA with a .222 ISO, leaving him offering plenty of upside in what should be a high-scoring Rockies' lineup tonight.
