Bryce Harper, OF, Washington Nationals

Price: $4,600

Moving to the Nationals' offense, they are in a similarly great spot against Marlins right-hander Jeff Brigham.

Brigham has made just three MLB starts this season (pitching 12 1/3 innings), but his 6.54 SIERA in that sample is egregious. His struggles aren't exactly surprising, either, as his 4.36 xFIP over nine Triple-A starts (52 1/3 innings) is not an impressive mark, especially at the Minor League level.

You probable don't need much convincing to play Bryce Harper in a spot like this. His production is down this year, but against right-handed pitching, his batted-ball numbers include outstanding marks like a 42.5% hard-hit rate, 39.8% fly-ball rate and 13.1% soft-hit rate. This has translated to a .377 wOBA and .260 ISO, despite variance not being on his side. His .282 BABIP against righties sits well below his career average of .316, which comes on a lower hard-hit rate and higher soft-hit rate.
