Charlie Blackmon, OF, Colorado Rockies

Price: $4,300

Despite his quiet night on Monday, Charlie Blackmon is someone we can usually expect big things from when he's batting at Coors Field, especially when he's up against a right-handed pitcher.

In 312 plate appearances at home this year, Blackmon boasts a .400 wOBA and .214 ISO. If we narrow that split to his work at home against righties, he turns a 39.6% hard-hit rate and 32.8% fly-ball rate into a .406 wOBA and .219 ISO.

Variance may even be holding back that production, as he's got only a 16.3% home-run-to-fly-ball rate against righties overall, compared to a 26.1% mark against righties in the thin Denver air in 2017.

Philadelphia Phillies righty Vincent Velasquez has not been pitching poorly by any stretch, with a solid 3.93 SIERA on the year. The contact he allows is especially concerning in Coors, though, with a 41.0% fly-ball rate and 33.0% hard-hit rate, which jumps to a 41.3% fly-ball rate and 35.5% hard-hit rate against left-handed bats.
