Charlie Blackmon, OF, Colorado Rockies

Price: $5,200

With the Atlanta Braves' weak bullpen pitching at Coors Field, it's a good night to target Charlie Blackmon.

Tonight, his plus matchup comes against righty Mike Foltynewicz, who has a shaky 4.49 SIERA on the yea. Foltynewicz has been awful against left-handed hitters, allowing a .367 wOBA and 5.25 xFIP on a 33.5% hard-hit rate, a 8.2% soft-hit rate, and a 43.1% fly-ball rate -- marks that are especially appealing in fantasy when he's dealing with the thin air at Coors.

Blackmon hasn't quite flashed it in this series so far, but his numbers at home have been otherworldly this season, especially against right-handed pitching. In 166 home plate appearances against right-handed hurlers in 2017, he's put up an absolutely massive .519 wOBA and .440 ISO, marks that come with a 48.3% hard-hit rate and 42.5% fly-ball rate.
