Anthony Rizzo, 1B, Chicago Cubs

Price: $4,300

The Chicago Cubs have the second-highest implied total on tonight's main slate (5.37) as they draw another good matchup against the weak Cincinnati Reds and righty Asher Wojciechowski. He does own a 3.79 SIERA, but the kind of contact he is giving up (33.1% hard-hit rate, 53.5% fly-ball rate) leaves a ton of room for fantasy upside.

Anthony Rizzo is more than capable of taking advantage of that, with a .375 wOBA and .233 ISO on a 33.3% hard-hit rate and 41.9% fly-ball rate against right-handed pitching in 2017. Our metrics also have Rizzo projected as a top-three fantasy scorer among tonight's hitters.
