Khris Davis, OF, Oakland Athletics

Price: $4,200

Khris Davis is another guy making some outstanding contact against right-handed hurlers this season, with a 40.9% hard-hit rate, 14.9% soft-hit rate, and 42.8% fly-ball rate. He's near the top of the season-long leaderboard, ranking fifth in average exit velocity.

He brings that into a terrific matchup tonight, as the Oakland Athletics' 5.02 implied total against the Detroit Tigers and righty Buck Farmer is Monday's top mark.

Farmer has a 4.23 SIERA this season -- bringing his big-league career-average to 4.65 -- while he's allowing an especially bad .349 wOBA on a 35.2% hard-hit rate to right-handed hitters.

Davis has been absent for a few games following the birth of his child, and if he's not back in the lineup tonight, Matt Olson ($4,300), who has 10 home runs in 16 games in September, makes for a solid pivot in the same matchup.
