Matt Wieters, C, Baltimore Orioles

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Today's main slate isn't exactly stacked with the promise of high-powered offense, but the Orioles do have the highest implied total on the slate at 5.14 as they take on the struggling James Shields.

Shields has been all over the place this year. He is sporting the second-worst ERA of his career (4.92) along with career-worsts in SIERA (5.14), strikeout rate (15.5%) and walk rate (9.6%).

Matt Wieters hasn't been anything to write home about this season, but he's sporting a 31.0% hard-hit rate, while his .259/.303/.423 slash against right-handed pitching is better than his career average numbers.

This one is more about getting cheap exposure to the the Orioles against Shields than it is a vote of confidence in Wieters, but as one of the cheapest options in an offense that should excel, he has big upside.
