Kris Bryant, 3B, Chicago Cubs

Price: $4,100

We've got strong winds blowing out at Wrigley Field, making this a great spot for offense. Facing off with Colorado Rockies southpaw Kyle Freeland, the Chicago Cubs boast Monday's highest implied total at 5.41.

Freeland makes for a promising matchup for right-handed bats even when he's not playing in a hitter-friendly environment. With his home games coming at Coors, his numbers get skewed a bit, but even just looking at road games in his young career, the numbers aren't promising. On the road against righties, he has an awful 5.51 xFIP, 11.7% strikeout rate and 10.7% walk rate. That has translated to a huge .378 wOBA in the split.

Kris Bryant is no stranger to knocking around southpaws, boasting a .421 wOBA on a 37.0% hard-hit and 39.5% fly-ball rate off lefties since the start of 2017, and the wind working in his favor gives him some huge upside.
