Aledmys Diaz, SS, St. Louis Cardinals

FanDuel Price: $3,000

The St. Louis Cardinals' 4.78 implied total is the second-highest mark on Thursday's main slate as they take on righty Casey Lawrence and the Toronto Blue Jays.

Lawrence has only made three starts in the majors, so we don't have a big sample size to draw from. He has been pretty terrible, though, with a 5.75 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) and a 17.8% walk rate that sits well ahead of his 13.3% strikeout rate. He also didn't exactly inspire a ton of confidence in the minors last year, posting a 3.83 ERA through 15 Triple-A games and a 4.56 ERA in 13 Double-A games with a 15.7% strikeout rate.

Aledmys Diaz hasn't had a great start, but he showed a ton of promise in his 2016 rookie campaign, posting a .370 wOBA and .210 isolated slugging (ISO) in 460 plate appearances.
