Jackie Bradley Jr., OF, Boston Red Sox

FanDuel Price: $2,700

The Boston Red Sox have a slate-high 5.47 implied team total against Jaime Barria, so they'll surely be a popular stack again tonight. Barria is allowing a slate-worst .379 expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA) and will have to battle with hitter-friendly Fenway Park.

But the likes of Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez are extremely expensive, as always, so we're going need to find some value if we want to stack four deep. Not only that, but on a short four-game slate, we'll have to find ways to differentiate our tournament lineups from the pack.

As a number-nine hitter, Jackie Bradley isn't typically a guy who catches our eye, and he's not exactly tearing it up this year either. Yet, if we look at his numbers against right-handers, he actually has an intriguing 38.8% hard-hit rate and 41.1% ground-ball rate, along with a surprisingly respectable .349 xwOBA. A notoriously streaky hitter, Bradley is also swinging a hot bat lately, posting a 50.0% hard-hit rate, .378 wOBA, and .216 isolated power (ISO) over the last two weeks. Bradley makes for an excellent way to fill out your Boston stack for some low-owned salary relief.
