Joey Gallo, OF, Texas Rangers

Price: $3,000

On the other side of the Padres-Rangers matchup, Texas' 5.09 implied total is the second-highest of the slate.

Padres' righty Tyson Ross has bounced back well from the egregious 6.17 SIERA he posted in 2017, but he is allowing the second-highest hard-hit rate (38.9%) of his career in 2018. Globe Life Park in Arlington is also today's most hitter-friendly ballpark, per park factor.

Even with his production down this year, Joey Gallo has a ridiculous batted-ball profile against right-handers, with a 50.0% hard-hit rate, 9.3% soft-hit rate and 52.6% fly-ball rate. He ranks eighth in average exit velocity and fifth in batted-ball distance among the more than 300 hitters with at least 50 batted-balls against righties. He boasts a .254 ISO in the split, bringing his career average to a .300 ISO and giving him massive upside at home against Ross.
