Nolan Arenado, 3B, Colorado Rockies

FanDuel Price: $4,300

We're expecting 13 mile-per-hour winds blowing out to left field at Wrigley Field tonight, so the Chicago Cubs will be popular across the board against Kyle Freeland.

But we shouldn't ignore the Colorado Rockies, who will also benefit against Jon Lester. Truthfully, the Rockies haven't been a great offense this season, ranking dead last in wRC+ to this point, so a full stack against a solid arm like Lester probably isn't the way to go. However, Lester has allowed a .343 wOBA since the start of 2017, which is something Nolan Arenado can certainly work with. As expected, Arenado isn't quite the same beast on the road, but over the past three seasons he's produced a .355 wOBA and .248 ISO away from Coors Field.

Kris Bryant should be wildly popular at the hot corner, but consider pivoting to Arenado in a tournament lineup.
