Kris Bryant, 3B, Chicago Cubs

Price: $4,200

We saw what the Chicago Cubs can do in a good matchup with hitter-friendly weather at Wrigley Field on Tuesday, and we get them in a very similar spot on Wednesday -- the forecast calls for warm weather and very strong winds blowing out again.

This has the Cubs boasting an absolutely massive 6.96 implied total in a matchup with Scott Feldman and the Cincinnati Reds.

Feldman has finished with a SIERA worse than 4.00 in 9 of his last 10 seasons, and he has a 4.63 mark through 8 starts in 2017. Kris Bryant has been doing Kris Bryant things this year, with a .407 wOBA that represents a slight jump from the .396 mark he posted last year.

Unlike Coors Field games, where hitter-friendly ballpark factors tend to get priced into salaries, FanDuel's pricing algorithms don't seem to have factored in the Wrigley winds, and that gives us Bryant's elite upside at a really reasonable price point.
