Mike Moustakas, 3B, Kansas City Royals

FanDuel Price: $2,900

The Kansas City Royals have the highest implied total (4.72) on today's main slate as they take on the Oakland Athletics and right-handed hurler Jesse Hahn.

Hahn played only nine games in 2016, but he posted a brutal 6.02 ERA and 5.37 SIERA. He now owns a 4.21 SIERA through 40 major league games, while left-handed hitters have posted a .335 wOBA and 33.4% hard-hit rate against him, leading to a 4.10 xFIP.

Mike Moustakas was limited by injuries last year, but he had a solid batted-ball profile against right-handers in his last full season (2015), with a 33.8% hard-hit rate, 16.0% soft-hit rate and 43.8% fly-ball rate, which led him to a .353 wOBA and .175 ISO.

Tonight's plus matchup against Hahn and the added value from the offense around him likely performing well makes Moustakas a strong value.
