Christian Yelich, OF, Milwaukee Brewers

Price: $5,000

Second to the Phillies in implied total tonight are the Milwaukee Brewers, who draw a matchup with right-hander Felix Pena and the Los Angeles Angels.

The Brewers' offense has been clicking so far, ranking top-10 in wRC+, and Pena's not a big threat to slow them down. He's coming off a 19-game campaign that saw him post a middling 4.08 SIERA while giving up a hefty 40.1% hard-hit rate in 2018. Furthermore, he's allowing concerning contact through 8 1/3 innings in 2019, with a 45.5% hard-hit rate and 54.5% fly-ball rate, as well as a 0% soft-hit rate.

We don't need an especially great matchup for Christian Yelich to be a top play against a righty, either. The left-handed Yelich has opened 2019 with a massive .493 wOBA and .422 ISO while posting better than 50% hard-contact. That's not going to be sustainable, but considering his .422 wOBA and .272 ISO in 2018, we also shouldn't expect that production to fall off much.
