Kevin Kiermaier, OF, Tampa Bay Rays

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Travelling to the hitter-friendly Globe Life Park to take on the Texas Rangers and righty Austin Bibens-Dirkx -- who will be making his first major league start -- the Tampa Bay Rays have the second-highest implied total on today's main slate (5.01).

BIbens-Dirkx has a 4.14 SIERA over his four major league appearances, and while we can't read too much into stats from from only 11 1/3 big league innings, he also posted a 4.30 xFIP in six Triple-A games this year, as well as a 4.98 in 17 Triple-A games in 2016.

Kevin Kiermaier has a reasonable .346 wOBA on a 31.8% hard-hit rate against right-handed pitching, and while those numbers aren't anything special, they're more than enough to make him a strong play in a spot as a good as this one.
