Nolan Arenado, 3B, Colorado Rockies

Price: $4,800

Today's Coors Field game between the Colorado Rockies and New York Mets has a big 12.5 over/under -- 2 runs higher than any other game on the slate -- and the Rockies (6.65) and Mets (5.85) have the day's two highest implied totals.

Mets southpaw Steven Matz has a shaky 4.61 SIERA through nine starts this season, and the 34.1% hard-hit rate and 39.1% fly-ball rate he's allowing to right-handed hitters are likely to get him into a lot of trouble with the way the ball carries at Coors.

Nolan Arenado's numbers in 112 plate appearances against left-handed pitching this season are absolutely absurd. He owns a .527 wOBA and .406 isolated slugging (ISO) on a 33.3% hard-hit rate and 49.5% fly-ball rate. He should have no problem doing serious damage tonight as he brings that production into a plus matchup at home.
