Mookie Betts, OF, Boston Red Sox

Price: $3,700

The forecast calls for some strong winds blowing straight out to center in Boston, and combining that with a plus matchup against Philadelphia Phillies righty Jerad Eickhoff gives the Boston Red Sox a massive 6.09 implied total -- by far the highest on the slate.

Eickhoff is on track to post career-worst marks in SIERA (4.63) strikeout rate (19.5%) and walk rate (8.5%) this year, while also forcing the lowest soft-hit rate of his career (14.8%) in 2017.

Like Davis, Mookie Betts is making some strong contact (with a career-high 37.4% hard-hit rate), but is getting pretty unlucky with a .263 BABIP. The young outfielder has a career .365 wOBA and .194 ISO against right-handed pitching, and he offers plenty of upside with Boston's offense being in such a terrific spot.
