Chris Davis, 1B, Baltimore Orioles

Price: $2,100

Chris Davis is second only to Morales among our projected values for today. He's been hit-or-miss (mostly "miss", if we're being honest) all season, but he's underpriced tonight at only $100 above the minimum.

His .314 wOBA since the All-Star break is a passable mark, and it has come with a ton of power. He has muscled a huge 52.4% hard-hit and 47.6% fly-ball rate with only an 11.9% soft-hit rate in that time, which has translated to a .274 ISO.

New York Mets righty Zack Wheeler has had a strong 2018 season, but he's allowing some fairly powerful contact to left-handed bats, with a 33.3% hard-hit and 36.4% fly-ball rate. This comes with a middling 4.05 xFIP, leaving Davis boasting some nice upside relative to his bottom-feeding price tag.
