Tommy Pham, OF, St. Louis Cardinals

Price: $4,100

Tommy Pham exploded for career-highs in both wOBA (.398) and ISO (.214) in 2017. He has followed that up with a terrific start to the 2018 season, posting a .438 wOBA through a small sample of 86 plate appearances.

His batted-ball profile this season (34.0% hard-hit, 15.1% soft-hit and 28.3% fly-ball rates) is right in line with what he managed in 2017 (35.5% hard-hit, 15.4% soft-hit and 26.1% fly-ball), and that's a good indication that his production is here to say moving forward.

He has a particularly strong .427 wOBA and .255 ISO against southpaws since 2017, putting him in a great spot against New York Mets lefty Steven Matz. Matz has been crushed for a .367 wOBA on a 35.7% hard-hit rate by right-handed hitters since the beginning of the 2017 season. It would be hard to pass up Pham in this spot.
