Bryce Harper, OF, Philadelphia Phillies

Price: $4,700

We're surprisingly short on high implied totals, considering there are 15 games on tap tonight, but the Philadelphia Phillies check in at third with a solid 4.76-run mark as they take on righty Jose Urena and the Miami Marlins.

Urena hasn't shown us much in the majors, with a career-average 4.81 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) over 118 games. He posted a career-best 4.39 last season, but even that's not an especially encouraging mark, and he's had a slightly worse SIERA (4.41) and strikeout rate (17.1%) to open 2019. He's also allowing an absurd 53.7% hard-hit rate to start the year. That mark will regress, but after giving up a career-high 38.2% hard-hit rate last year, there's definitely room for concern.

With the Phillies boasting a strong implied total, and Bryce Harper enjoying the platoon advantage against a shaky pitcher, this is a spot that you're not going to want to overlook often.

Harper is sporting a solid .370 wOBA and .242 ISO over 112 plate appearances in Philly, and his 40.4% hard-hit rate isn't far off from the 42.3% mark he posted last year. He's notched a wOBA north of .440 against righties in two of his last four seasons, and owns a career .396 wOBA and .253 ISO in the split. He shouldn't have any issues with Urena.
