Charlie Blackmon, OF, Colorado Rockies

Price: $4,500

Once again, we get Charlie Blackmon at home against a righty -- a recipe for big fantasy upside.

His numbers in that split over the last three seasons include a .436 wOBA and .292 ISO, which come on a 41.8% hard-hit and 38.4% fly-ball rate. His production is down a bit in 2018, but his .412 wOBA and .221 ISO in the split are both terrific marks, and he's sporting a 37.4% hard-hit and 35.3% fly-ball rate against righties on the year.

Philadelphia Phillies righty Nick Pivetta isn't exactly a soft matchup, with a strong 3.44 SIERA on the year, but he's still vulnerable to the hitter-friendly effects at Coors Field. He has been hit for a 34.0% hard-hit and 38.5% fly-ball rate by left-handed bats on the year, which has translated to a .336 wOBA. That mark jumps way up to .397 with a 4.18 xFIP on the road, and this is about as unfriendly a road environment as a pitcher can get.
