Christian Yelich, OF, Milwaukee Brewers

FanDuel Price: $4,000

Christian Yelich busted out for two dingers on Tuesday, which should put more eyeballs on him tonight, but the Milwaukee Brewers still figure to fall behind the night's other top stacks as just the fifth-highest implied team total in spite of a money spot against Matt Harvey.

Harvey has experienced better results of late, but he's struggled against lefty hitters all year, posting just a 17.0% strikeout rate, while allowing a 40.9% hard-hit rate and 43.1% fly-ball rate. The result has been a lackluster 5.31 FIP and .354 xwOBA in the platoon split.

Yelich continues to hold a high ground-ball rate, but he's producing a massive 48.4% hard-hit rate versus righties, helping him to a robust .405 xwOBA and .242 ISO. He's been on quite the home run binge, mashing seven bombs over his last nine games. He has a great chance to keep that going in Great American Ball Park, and a lefty-heavy Brewers stack looks awfully enticing tonight.
