Alex Bregman, 3B, Houston Astros

Price: $4,000

Sticking with the Astros, we also get their offense in a good spot against Twins righty Jake Odorizzi.

Odorizzi has opened the 2019 season with a 4.62 SIERA through five games -- a mark that lines up with the 4.55 and 4.90 he posted in the last two years. His walk rate is also in line with what he's posted in the last couple years, sitting at 10.6% so far. He's also on pace for his third consecutive year with a hard-hit rate north of 36%. This matchup leaves Houston with a strong 4.67-run implied total -- the third-highest on the slate.

Alex Bregman is off to another strong start in 2019, turning in a .381 wOBA over 112 plate appearances. Both his wOBA and ISO (.191) are down from last year's marks (.396 wOBA, .246 ISO), but with a hard-hit rate (37.3%) that is on pace to be a career-high, we can likely expect his production to get even better as we move forward.

A righty-versus-righty matchup is no concern, either. He's actually done better against righties in 2019 (.401 wOBA) and turned in a great .390 against righties last season.
