Freddie Freeman, 1B, Atlanta Braves

Price: $4,200

The Atlanta Braves' 5.01 implied total is the third-best on Wednesday's main slate as they take on right-hander Jose Urena and the Miami Marlins.

Urena has shown some improvement in 2018, but his 4.15 SIERA is still a pedestrian mark. That comes one season after posting an especially poor 5.19 in 2017, and he's actually giving up a hard-hit rate (41.5%) about 10% higher than he did last year, while also forcing the lowest soft-hit rate of his career (15.1%).

Freddie Freeman is having a very solid year from the dish, with a .395 wOBA and .216 ISO over 118 games, and he has been making especially sweet contact against righties, with a 44.6% hard-hit and 11.2% soft-hit rate. He should once again be a big part of the Braves' offensive success tonight.
