Alex Wood, P, Los Angeles Dodgers

Price: $9,300

Alex Wood is sporting career-highs in both strikeout rate (27.0%) and swinging strike rate (12.7%), while his skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) sits at a breezy 3.22 through 19 games. He has also allowed a bottom-10 exit velocity among the 126 pitchers to have thrown 300-plus pitches since the All-Star break.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have been bad against left-handed pitching this year, striking out at a top-10 rate while ranking bottom-10 in wRC+, and despite the warm weather at the hitter-friendly Chase Field tonight, Wood offers elite upside in this one.
