Mark Trumbo, $3,500 on FanDuel

Mark Trumbo homered again last night, giving him three in his first two weeks as an Oriole.

Hitting last night's home run off left-handed pitcher Cole Hamels, Trumbo continued his career trend of mashing lefties. He posted a .237 ISO versus them last season but was even better in the years before with a .293 ISO in 2013-2014 combined.

His hard-rate jumped significantly versus southpaws last year to 38.8 percent, up from just 30.5 percent versus right-handed pitchers.

One of the most overlooked aspects when it comes to selecting MLB DFS hitters is the weather, and you can use this to your advantage tonight with Trumbo.

It is easier to hit home runs when the air is less dense, which happens to be the case in Arlington tonight. According to Daily Baseball Data, Arlington has the lowest Air Density Index of any ballpark tonight at 62.

With favorable splits and the best environment to hit baseballs, Trumbo is a good bet to go yard in consecutive games.
