FanDuel Price: $4,600
The most expensive outfielder, Mike Trout is hitting in the middle of an Angels’ lineup which is coming alive of late. Aside from feeling the wrath of Clayton Kershaw on Tuesday, the Angels are averaging 7.5 runs in the other two games in this Freeway Series.
Our models give Trout the best odds (0.31) of going deep tonight as he does battle with Los Angeles Dodgers’ righty Ross Stripling. After flirting with a no-no in his debut, Stripling has struggled, posting a 4.38 SIERA, 18.4% strikeout rate and 9.2% walk rate.
Trout owns a massive .412 wOBA versus right-handers in his career. He’s coming off a big game on Wednesday night as he went 3-for-4 with a homer and 3 runs scored.
NO. DOUBT. ABOUT. IT. 💪 @MikeTrout sends that ball out in a hurry. @Angels in #FreewaySeries action NOW!https://t.co/CrZIgjovng

The long ball was Trout’s second in his last five games.
