Dominic Smith, 1B, New York Mets

Price: $3,000

Even as underdogs, playing at Coors Field tonight leaves the New York Mets with Wednesday second-highest implied total, at 5.66 runs.

It also doesn't hurt their offensive prospects that Colorado is starting righty Chad Bettis. Bettis has a 4.52 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) over 14 games this season, and he's allowing a career-high 35.6% hard-hit rate.

Dominic Smith has not had a productive start to his Major League career, with a .276 wOBA over 207 plate appearances, but he has shown no shortage of power. He has a .195 isolated slugging (ISO), which comes on a 39.1% hard-hit and 32.3% fly-ball rate.

He has made especially promising contact against right-handed hurlers, with a 40.7% hard-hit rate, 10.6% soft-hit rate and 35.4% fly-ball rate, and making contact like that at Coors Field gives him huge upside tonight.
