FanDuel Price: $4,300
Hitting in the middle of a lineup with an implied total of 5.91 runs, the highest of the day, Carlos Beltran checks in as our top-ranked hitter.
In his age-39 season, Beltran has been huge for an otherwise weak Yankees’ offense, mashing to the tune of a .363 wOBA with 16 jacks. He’s gotten better as the year has progressed, peaking with a red-hot start to June.
Month | Plate Appearances | wOBA | Home Runs | BB% |
---|---|---|---|---|
April | 87 | 0.302 | 4 | 3.4 |
May | 107 | 0.385 | 8 | 5.6 |
June | 46 | 0.429 | 4 | 6.5 |
Beltran, a switch hitter, is in an envious situation tonight. Not only do the Yankees play at Coors Field, but Beltran gets to hit right-handed as he squares off against Colorado Rockies’ southpaw Jorge De La Rosa. Beltran is sporting a .383 wOBA as a right-handed hitter, compared to a .353 wOBA when he hits on the other side of the dish.
