Joey Gallo, OF, Texas Rangers

FanDuel Price: $3,300

With Joey Gallo's salary coming up a bit, a low spot in the batting order, and that always frustrating 37.6% strikeout rate, the masses may elect to find their power upside elsewhere on an evening with plenty of enticing offenses available.

But this is another solid matchup for a Gallo dinger against Jake Junis, who's allowing a 38.4% ground-ball rate and 39.3% hard-hit rate. The big lefty is sporting a ridiculous 50.4% hard-hit rate versus righties this season, and a career .303 ISO against them speaks to the massive upside. Even with the slight increase in price, this is still an affordable bat for this kind of ceiling.

The Texas Rangers have a reasonable 4.75 implied team total, and are an offense that's likely to see fewer looks tonight. Kauffman Stadium may not be the best hitting venue, but another warm evening could give hitters a boost.
