Kris Bryant, 3B, Chicago Cubs

Price: $4,300

It's looking like we're going to get some strong winds blowing out at Wrigley Field, and combining that with a favorable matchup against Philadelphia Phillies righty Vince Velasquez has the Chicago Cubs sporting the day's highest implied total at 6.17.

Velasquez owns a shaky 4.49 SIERA through four starts, which has come with a 12.6% walk rate and 33.3% hard-hit rate. He has also allowed a career 42.2% fly-ball rate, which is a dangerous number when he's pitching at a park where the ball is likely to carry like at Wrigley tonight.

Kris Bryant currently owns .389 wOBA and .227 isolated slugging (ISO), along with a career 38.3% hard-hit rate and 45.6% fly-ball rate. The favorable spot he finds himself in provides a ton of upside.
