Travis Shaw, 3B, Milwaukee Brewers

FanDuel Price: $4,300

The Boston Red Sox, Kansas City Royals, and Chicago Cubs have the highest implied team totals by a hefty margin, so they should naturally take on the bulk of hitting ownership.

But it might be worth looking at Travis Shaw as a one-off against Kyle Hendricks. Although Hendricks is decidedly not the best pitcher to attack because of his typically strong batted-ball numbers, he's still not a big strikeout pitcher, which can lead to opportunities. It was easy to be somewhat skeptical of Shaw entering this season following his surprise jump in power last year, but he's picked up right where he left off and now holds a .387 wOBA and .262 isolated power (ISO) against righties since the start of 2017.

The Milwaukee Brewers are unlikely to pile on the runs as a team against Hendricks, but perhaps Shaw can take one out of the park at low ownership.
