Nolan Arenado, 3B, Colorado Rockies

Price: $4,800

Unsurprisingly, there's no shortage of fantasy appeal in tonight's Coors Field matchup between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies, and the 11.0 over/under is a full 2 runs more than than any other game on the slate.

Zack Greinke is coming off of a down year for the D-Backs, having posted a 4.11 SIERA in 2016. While he has improved in that area this year, he is allowing some really concerning contact -- giving up a career-high 38.5% hard-hit rate to go with a 38.2% fly-ball rate, his highest since 2009.

Nolan Arenado hasn't produced especially well from the dish recently, owning a shaky .273 wOBA over the last 15 days, but it's not as if he hasn't been hitting the ball well. He ranks 55th in average exit velocity and 75th in batted-ball distance among the 300-plus hitters with at least 10 batted balls over the past 15 days.
