J.D. Martinez, OF, Boston Red Sox

Price: $4,000

The Boston Red Sox offense is one of the best to target in fantasy tonight, boasting a 4.73 implied total against Tampa Bay southpaw Blake Snell.

Snell has looked pretty good through five starts this season, but, like Manaea, that sample is still too small to completely overshadow his first two major league seasons. His career-average SIERA still sits at a shaky 4.52, and this would be his first season with a mark better than 4.50. He's also still sporting a middling 4.07 xFIP against right-handed bats, which is especially appealing for J.D. Martinez.

Dating back to the start of the 2017 season, Martinez has absolutely crushed the ball against southpaws, with a 54.5% hard-hit, 7.8% soft-hit and 45.5% fly-ball rate. This has translated to ridiculous production in the form of a .498 wOBA and .445 ISO over 128 plate appearances.

He has massive upside at Fenway tonight.
