Rougned Odor, 2B, Texas Rangers

FanDuel Price: $3,000

Rougned Odor has struggled from the dish to start the season, but he's in a strong spot tonight, as the Texas Rangers boast the day's third-highest implied total (4.85) against righty Jesse Hahn and his Oakland Athletics.

Despite his bumpy spring, Odor has generally done solid work against right-handed pitching, having posted a .340 wOBA with a 34.5% hard-hit rate in 2016. His hard-hit rate hasn't fallen too far this year, sitting at 32.1%.

Hahn has a 4.23 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) to start the year after posting an ugly 5.37 in 2016, and lefties have tagged him for a 4.66 xFIP and 38.0% hard-hit rate this season.

This is a good individual matchup for Odor to bounce back, and the Rangers' high implied total gives him a bump in potential runs scored and RBI, as the bats around him will likely also find some success tonight.
