Stephen Piscotty, OF, Oakland Athletics

Price: $2,900

The Oakland Athletics have a 5.25 implied total tonight as they travel to Texas to take on southpaw Mike Minor and the Rangers.

Minor has made 18 starts in 2018, posting a shaky 4.42 SIERA while allowing a career-worst 40.6% hard-hit rate and 44.6% fly-ball rate. Contact like that is especially worrying when he's pitching at home as Globe Life Park in Arlington is one of the more hitter-friendly environments in the Majors and has the second-highest park factor on today's slate.

Stephen Piscotty has bounced back from his down year in 2017, opening 2018 with a .337 wOBA and career-high .201 ISO. That comes on the best contact of his career, with a career-low 13.1% soft-hit rate and career-high 41.9% hard-hit rate, positioning him well to take advantage of this matchup.
