Matt Carpenter, 3B, St. Louis Cardinals

FanDuel Price: $3,900

Matt Carpenter has averaged 5.4 Wins Above Replacement, per Fangraphs, over the last three seasons, so it means something to say he’s having the best season of his career. Carpenter is doing just that, posting career-best marks in walk rate (13.8%) and wOBA (.392).

He’s our top-ranked hitter for St. Louis’ matchup with Cincinnati Reds’ lefty John Lamb. Despite being a left-handed hitter, Carpenter has put up a career .338 wOBA versus southpaws. St Louis has a massive implied total of 5.26 runs today, and Carpenter, the team’s leadoff hitter, stands to benefit. The game is being played at Great American Ballpark, which ranks fifth in home run factor, per ESPN’s Park Factors.
