Charlie Blackmon, OF, Colorado Rockies

FanDuel Price: $3,900

Charlie Blackmon has always been a better hitter in Denver -- for his career, he owns a .344 batting average, including a .222 isolated power (ISO) and .970 OPS mark at home.

Tonight could be a different animal. Young hurler Max Fried mans the mound for the Atlanta Braves, and he's been tough on lefties. A season ago, he posted a 41.0% strikeout rate in this spot, including a low 26.7% fly-ball rate.

Blackmon's numbers have been far better throughout his time facing a righty (.209 ISO, .871 OPS) versus a lefty (.158 ISO, .816 OPS), so despite that great home park, he may be one to fade.
