Trevor Story, SS, Colorado Rockies

FanDuel Price: $4,300

Locked into a home matchup, Trevor Story seems to be in a great spot to lift the struggling Rockies' offense. The Rockies-Braves clash carries a slate-high over/under of 10.5 runs, but in spite of that, a date with Julio Teheran makes Story a scary option.

Teheran has continued his end-of-season success from 2018 with a dominant start against right-handed bats this year. Over 22 total batters faced, Teheran has held righties to one extra-base hit, a .213 wOBA, and 40.9% strikeout rate. He did much of the same last year, limiting righties to a .269 wOBA with a 27.2% strikeout rate and 5.6% walk rate in the split.

Lefties got to Teheran last year for a .320 wOBA with just a 17.7% strikeout rate, so if you're plugging in Colorado bats, it's best to roster their lefties.
