Pedro Alvarez, 3B, Baltimore Orioles

FanDuel Price: $2,700

The Orioles are another team with a hefty implied total (5.56) as they take on the Colorado Rockies and righty Chad Bettis.

Bettis has yet to post a sub-4.00 SIERA in any of his big-league seasons, and he has a 4.13 SIERA this year. He also struggles with left-handed hitters, allowing a 4.24 xFIP with a .334 wOBA and 10.0% walk rate.

Pedro Alvarez excels against right-handed pitching with a 38.8% hard-hit rate, .349 wOBA and .258 ISO against righties on the year. Those numbers closely mirror his career splits of a 38.2% hard-hit rate, .341 wOBA and .230 ISO versus righties.

Camden Yards is a hitter-friendly park that is especially good for left-handed bats, and playing at home with a great matchup, Alvarez has huge upside.
