J.D. Martinez, OF, Boston Red Sox

Price: $4,900

The Boston Red Sox's 5.50 implied total is the highest mark on Monday's main slate.

They draw a great matchup tonight against the Texas Rangers and southpaw Mike Minor, who has a shaky 4.31 SIERA through 16 games in 2018. He's also allowing a career-high 41.6% hard-hit rate and 44.2% fly-ball rate.

J.D. Martinez sat out yesterday, so make sure he's in the lineup. But if he is, this is a juicy spot for him. His 27 home runs and 74 RBIs are both the most in the Majors, and he ranks third among qualifying hitters in both wOBA (.434) and ISO (.317).

He is especially deadly against left-handed pitching, with a .473 wOBA and .386 ISO on a 52.9% hard-hit rate and 41.2% fly-ball rate in 193 plate appearances over the last two seasons.
