Freddie Freeman, 1B, Atlanta Braves

FanDuel Price: $3,800

The Atlanta Braves may have the worst offense in the game, but it certainly isn't Freddie Freeman's fault. The dude has balled out, posting a .391 wOBA with 26 jacks, both of which are career highs.

Freeman doesn't have big splits, but he does slightly favor right-handed pitchers. Versus righties, he's put up a .395 wOBA this season with a 42.0% hard-hit rate and 44.9% fly-ball rate. Take him out of pitcher-friendly Turner Field, and his overall wOBA jumps to .430.

Not only is he on the road tonight against righty Archie Bradley, but the game is also at Chase Field, which is fifth in park factor.

With a 4.65 SIERA and 11.3% walk rate, Bradley is having all sorts of trouble this campaign. Those struggles are magnified against left-handed hitters, who have rocked him for a .414 wOBA with a monster 40.3% hard-hit rate.

Freeman is in an ideal spot, and with an implied total of 4.57 runs, the Braves may be an under-the-radar stacking option.
