Eddie Rosario, OF, Minnesota Twins

Price: $3,000

Taking on struggling righty in the Toronto Blue Jays' Marco Estrada, the Minnesota Twins have a strong implied total of 5.07 runs tonight.

Estrada has opened 2018 with a 4.77 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA), which is on pace to top what was a career-worst 4.69 mark in 2017.

Eddie Rosario has also had a rough start to 2018, but it's easy to look past that when he's up against a righty. Since the start of the 2017 season, Rosario has made 483 plate appearances against right-handed pitching, converting a 34.0% hard-hit rate, 13.8% soft-hit rate and 40.7% fly-ball rate into a .368 wOBA and .255 ISO. Those numbers are more than strong enough to create big value in this spot.
