Christian Yelich, OF, Miami Marlins

Christian Yelich is not usually a power hitter, but his recent numbers suggest that he should be mashing. In July, Yelich has an incredible 2.6% soft-contact rate with 35.7% hard-contact rate. He's been especially solid against righties in July, with an average exit velocity of 95.8 MPH. He hasn't had any huge games (one home run in July), but that could change soon.

It's hard to use Yelich at home because Marlins Park is such a bad venue for hitters, but they will be in one of the best hitters parks in the league at the end of the week. Not only is it a great yard, but he'll face Homer Bailey and Scott Feldman, both of whom struggle with left-handed hitters. Currently $3.5K on FanDuel, he will make a fantastic play later in the week.
