Yasiel Puig, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $2,600

The Los Angeles Dodgers' 5.39 implied total is tied for the fourth-highest of the day, as they take on right-hander Lucas Sims and the Atlanta Braves.

This will be Sims' first big league game, and while he turned in a solid year in Triple-A, he's in a tough position against a Dodgers team that ranks second in wRC+ against righties.

Yasiel Puig has been productive since the All-Star break, with a .370 wOBA despite only posting a .263 BABIP, and he has been especially tasty against right-handed pitching all season, with a .374 wOBA and .261 ISO on a 34.0% hard-hit rate.

numberFire's models project Puig as the day's second-best point-per-dollar value.
