Nomar Mazara, OF, Texas Rangers

Price: $2,500

The Texas Rangers boast highest implied total on today's main slate, at 5.75. They're taking on Jaime Barria as he makes his major league debut on the mound, which puts the offense in such a great spot.

The 21-year-old Barria hasn't done much work at the Triple-A level so far, starting only three games in 2017, and turning in an ugly 5.00 xFIP in those contests. What he has shown is that he consistently allows a ton of fly balls, with a fly-ball rate north of 50% at both the Double-A and Triple-A levels in 2017. And that is likely to spell trouble at the hitter-friendly Globe Life Park in Arlington.

Nomar Mazara is off to a solid start, with a .365 wOBA through 13 games. That's too small a sample-size to read too much into, but he also looked competent against right-handed pitching in 2017, turning a 34.4% hard-hit rate into a .332 wOBA and .193 isolated slugging (ISO).

The Rangers' offense is one you're going to want exposure to, and Mazara's numbers make him a terrific way to do that without breaking the bank.
