Chris Shaw, OF, San Francisco Giants

Price: $3,000

The San Francisco Giants are on the road at Coors Field tonight, taking on the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Antonio Senzatela.

Senzatela has a weak 4.54 SIERA on the year (right in line with his 4.55 from his 2017 rookie campaign) and has allowed some big numbers at Coors. In 104 career innings at home, he has allowed a 34.6% hard-hit rate, which has converted to a 4.46 xFIP with a .338 wOBA. The Giants have a solid 4.77 implied total as a result.

Chris Shaw has only made 11 career Major League plate appearances, but he has been starting against righties for the Giants recently, so he should get some hacks in today.

We can't read much into his tiny major League sample, but at the Triple-A level he posted a .364 wOBA and .241 ISO in 2017, as well as a .350 wOBA and .246 ISO in 2018. Combining his power with the platoon advantage tonight, he makes for a nice cheap way to get exposure to the Coors Field matchup.
