Carlos Gonzalez, OF, Colorado Rockies

FanDuel Price: $3,700

Although the Colorado Rockies have the highest implied team total of the slate (6.38), it may surprise you that pitcher Derek Holland has pretty good numbers against lefties.

Going all the way back to 2015, versus southpaws Holland has allowed just a 21.3% hard-hit rate and 52.9% ground-ball rate, with a 23.3% strikeout rate. It's worth noting this only amounts to 46 innings, but even when extending the sample size across his whole career, the hard-hit rate remains mostly unchanged (21.8%).

As we know, anything can happen in Coors Field, but it should give you pause when looking at lefty Rockies bats, and in particular Carlos Gonzalez, who has struggled to a .275 wOBA this season.
