Kris Bryant, 3B, Chicago Cubs

Price: $5,200

It should come as no surprise, but today's Coors Field game between the Colorado Rockies and Chicago Cubs promises to be a great one for fantasy. The 11.0 over/under is a full two runs higher than any of Monday's other nine games, while the Rockies (5.28) and Cubs (5.72) sport the day's two highest implied totals.

Antonio Senzatela will be on the mound for Colorado, and with a 4.60 SIERA through his first six MLB starts, that makes Cubs bats especially appealing.

I'm sure this surprises you as much as a high over/under in a Coors Game -- but Kris Bryant is mashing. He is on pace for a career-high .403 wOBA, and his .238 isolated slugging (ISO) is right in line with his career average through his first 150 plate appearances. He's not making as much hard contact as he has in years past, but his fly-ball rate sits at a solid 45.7%. Against Senzatela in Coors, his upside is tremendous.
