Ender Inciarte, OF, Atlanta Braves

Price: $2,800

Second only to the Twins, the Atlanta Braves boast a 4.76-run implied total as they host Antonio Senzatela and the Colorado Rockies.

The right-handed Senzatela posted a 4.55 SIERA as a rookie in 2017, and didn't improve much with a 4.50 mark in 2018. He has opened 2019 with a slightly improved mark, but it's still only a 4.15, and that's over a tiny two-start sample.

He's had a rough time with left-handed hitters in the majors, getting tagged for a career 4.49 xFIP, making this an especially good spot for Ender Inciarte.

Inciarte hasn't exactly joined his teammates in posting high-powered offensive numbers this season, but thanks to the importance of runs and RBI in daily fantasy, their success has given him a boost anyway.

He's also proven himself to be a more than capable hitter against right-handed pitching, not posting a wOBA worse than .313 in the split since his 2014 rookie season, and averaging .323 over his career. His drop in production this year comes with only a .229 BABIP against righties (compared to a .323 career average), so we don't need to be concerned about his struggles from the dish this year.

Being part of one of the more well-positioned offenses of the day leaves him offering some great upside relative to his salary.
