Paul Goldschmidt, 1B, Arizona Diamondbacks

Price: $4,500

While it may not be a Coors Field matchup between the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks, Chase Field is very hitter-friendly and this should be a great game to target in fantasy -- especially on Arizona's side. their 4.96 implied total is the second-highest mark of the day.

The Rockies will be starting southpaw Kyle Freeland, who has an unimpressive 4.23 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) through his first four major league starts, while he hasn't shown great command of the strike zone, with a 14.6% strikeout and 10.4% walk rate. His minor league numbers in 2016 also weren't especially encouraging, with a 3.87 ERA and 13.9% strikeout rate in 14 Double-A games, along with a 3.91 ERA in 12 Triple-A games.

Paul Goldschmidt is, unsurprisingly, off to a hot start with a .434 wOBA. He has been especially good against left-handed pitching over his career, with a .432 wOBA on a 47.2% hard-hit rate, and should have no trouble taking advantage of this matchup.
