Charlie Blackmon, OF, Colorado Rockies

Price: $4,500

While the Colorado Rockies' bats didn't really cash in yesterday, they are in a terrific spot again with a favorable pitching matchup at Coors Field.

The San Diego Padres will be starting righty Jered Weaver, and the 34-year-old has been really struggling in recent years -- his 4.64 ERA and 4.88 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) in 2015 were career worsts at the time, but he posted even worse numbers last year, with a 5.06 ERA and 5.44 SIERA.

His first start this year wasn't any more encouraging, giving up four earned runs (including two dingers) while tallying two strikeouts and three walks in five innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bringing that into a hitter-friendly park like Coors, and it's no surprise that the Rockies have the highest implied total on the slate (6.67).

Charlie Blackmon is coming off a career-year, having posted a .394 wOBA and .228 isolated slugging (ISO) in 2016. He did especially strong work against right-handed pitching, which can be seen by his .405 wOBA and .275 ISO on a 38.7% hard-hit and 40.9% fly ball rate.
