Corey Dickerson, OF, Pittsburgh Pirates

FanDuel Price: $3,900

Reynaldo Lopez is on quite a run the begin 2018, posting a 2.44 ERA through seven starts that ranks amongst the best in the league.

But red flags abound, as a 5.32 SIERA, 17.0% strikeout rate, and 10.4% walk rate don't exactly appear deserving of that ERA. Throw in a .202 BABIP and it's pretty clear that Lopez's ERA is living on borrowed time.

The Pittsburgh Pirates make for an underrated stack tonight, and Corey Dickerson is one guy primed to take advantage. Dickerson owns a solid .341 wOBA and .239 ISO against righties since the start of 2016, and this season he's dropped his strikeout rate to just 10.5%. He's also showing just a 26.2% ground-ball rate, so we can expect plenty of ball hit in the air.

On such a large slate, you'll like be able to get the Pirates and their 4.83 implied team total at low ownership.
