Price: $4,000
Charlie Blackmon's price is on the rise after he went yards twice, driving in four RBI in a four-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies last week, but he's still priced nice and reasonably considering he's back in Coors Field this week for a series against the Washington Nationals.
The Nats will open the series with righty Jeremy Hellickson, who has an impressive-looking 2.63 ERA through three starts this year. That ERA comes with a heinous 6.36 SIERA though, and his 13.8% walk rate trumps his 10.3% strikeout rate. The 43.1% fly-ball rate he's given up to left-handed hitters since the start of the 2017 season is especially concerning in the thin air at Coors, where fly-balls really carry.
Blackmon's numbers still aren't up where we've seen them in recent years to start 2019, but with a 38.4% hard-hit rate and 37.5% fly-ball rate, we can expect him to continue this bounce-back.
His last two seasons saw him post a .503 wOBA and .406 ISO (2017) and .413 wOBA and .251 ISO (2018) against righties at Coors, and he'll also likely bad leadoff tonight, boosting his value even further.
