Michael Conforto, OF, New York Mets

FanDuel Price: $3,500

With the Colorado Rockies getting a slate-high 6.35 implied team total against Jason Vargas, they will undoubtedly be the the more popular of the two teams at Coors Field tonight. But we certainly shouldn't ignore the New York Mets, who are still getting a solid 5.15 implied team total in their matchup against German Marquez. Marquez has some reasonable enough peripherals, but he simply hasn't been able to escape the wrath of Coors this season, posting a 7.71 ERA while allowing a .415 wOBA.

Many will likely look to Brandon Nimmo after his monster two-dinger performance on Monday (50.4 FanDuel points), but don't overlook Michael Conforto, who could be quietly starting to round into form. Conforto hasn't been the same guy this year after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery, but he's posted a 38.5% hard-hit rate and .377 expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA) in the month of June.

Conforto owned a .392 wOBA and .276 isolated power (ISO) in 2017, so we can only hope this is a sign that player is finally coming back around.
