Nolan Arenado, 3B, Colorado Rockies

Price: $4,800

The only game in a more hitter-friendly ballpark than that one will be the matchup between the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants at Coors Field.

The Giants will start southpaw Andrew Suarez, and the Rockies' 5.73 implied total is the day's highest. Suarez has a respectable 3.88 SIERA on the year, but the 40.4% hard-hit rate he has allowed is likely to spell trouble in such a hitter-friendly environment.

Nolan Arenado against a southpaw at Coors is also about as dangerous as it gets for a hitter. In that split, he has an absolutely absurd .582 wOBA and .493 ISO in 2018 (88 plate appearances). If we go back to 2017 (79 plate appearances), we see a .549 wOBA and .446 ISO. Those are completely ridiculous numbers, and they make him a very tough fade in this spot.
