Adam Lind, 1B, Washington Nationals

FanDuel Price: $3,000

Playing on the road against the Baltimore Orioles, the Washington Nationals get a designated hitter tonight, and that's likely to be Adam Lind.

Lind hasn't played a ton this season, but he has looked great when he has, posting a .372 wOBA with a 40.6% hard-hit rate, 46.9% fly-ball rate and 12.5% soft-hit rate. He also ranks 19th in average batted-ball distance and 5th in average exit velocity over the past 15 days.

He brings those strong contact numbers into a great matchup tonight. The Nats have a solid 4.61 implied total against the Baltimore Orioles and righty Ubaldo Jimenez, who has allowed left-handed hitters to post a .387 wOBA. He's also the owner of a 5.80 SIERA with a 15.0% walk rate to start the 2017 season.
