Greg Bird, 1B, New York Yankees

FanDuel Price: $3,100

Shane Bieber has performed pretty well through six starts, so the typically popular New York Yankees ought to go lower-owned on a Coors Field night.

But we know this offense is always capable of racking up runs, and Bieber is allowing a 46.4% hard-hit rate. We don't have much of a sample size to go off of, but that number rises to 55.6% against lefties, and three of the four dingers Bieber has allowed have come from that side.

Perhaps it's not a bad time to give Greg Bird a whirl then, who remains affordable, and has been showing that excellent power upside lately. He's slugged 2 dingers and plated 10 RBI over the past 3 games. Against right-handed pitching, he's putting up a 39.1% hard-hit rate, 49.3% fly-ball rate, and .270 ISO this season.
