Mookie Betts, OF, Boston Red Sox

FanDuel Price: $4,800

The Colorado Rockies are always popular at Coors Field, but with a massive slate-high 6.55 implied team total against Wei-Yin Chen, they should see even higher ownership than usual.

Might this be a rare evening we can get Mookie Betts at lower ownership? Even with an enticing matchup against left-hander Wade LeBlanc, with all those fantasy dollars being spent in Colorado, most lineups will be unable to fit in a guy priced close to $5,000. Furthermore, the Boston Red Sox have underwhelmed as a team against lefties this year, and LeBlanc shut them down at home his last time out.

Of course, Betts has been marvelous in 2018, so as you might expect, he's been anything but underwhelming against southpaws. He's producing an absurd .497 wOBA and .423 isolated power (ISO) in the split, and hitter-friendly Fenway Park will be no picnic for LeBlanc. If you're fading Coors in a tournament lineup, don't rule out using Betts in this spot.
