Chris Davis, 1B, Baltimore Orioles

Price: $3,500

Chris Davis has posted a hard-hit rate north of 40% in three of his last four seasons, so we can expect his weak hard-hit rate to start 2017 to improve in a big way moving forward. It's also encouraging is that despite this low hard-hit rate, his average batted-ball distance this season ranks fourth among hitters with at least 25 such events.

He has a big .438 wOBA against right-handed pitching to start the season (and a solid .369 over his career), putting him in a good spot against Cincinnati Reds' righty Scott Feldman -- especially while playing at the hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark.

Feldman hasn't posted a SIERA better than 4.00 since the 2011 season, and left-handed hitters throttled him for a .377 wOBA in 2016.
