Matt Adams, 1B, Washington Nationals

Price: $3,000

The Washington Nationals' 5.10 implied total is Thursday's highest mark, and their matchup with Miami Marlins righty Pablo Lopez is a promising one. Lopez's first Major League start went well, but he struggled to the tune of a of a 4.55 xFIP at the Triple-A level.

Matt Adams has been hugely productive this season, with a hefty .392 wOBA and .301 ISO over 171 plate appearances. The elite wOBA is a new one for him, but he has shown no shortage of power in recent years, with a .248 ISO in 2017 and .222 ISO in 2016.

His 44.8% hard-hit rate is a career-high clip, and he has paired it with a 41.4% fly-ball rate. He's always a threat to go yard, and his home-run upside leaves him way underpriced here.
