Nick Ahmed, SS, Arizona Diamondbacks

Price: $2,600

Martin Perez is taking the mound for Texas tonight, making this a terrific spot for Arizona Diamondbacks hitters.

Among starters in action today, Perez's 5.34 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) ranks dead last, as does his 3.1% strikeout-minus-walk rate. Making things even better for the D-Backs is the fact Perez's 44.7% hard-hit rate is the day's second-highest.

Nick Ahmed has been great against southpaws this year, turning a 41.8% hard-hit rate and 13.3% soft-hit rate into a .359 wOBA and huge .263 isolated slugging (ISO). Getting those numbers at this price-point would be appealing in all but the worst matchups. Combining it with this spot against Perez makes Ahmed tough to ignore.
