Nick Friar:
One who I really like a lot just below $4K is Jose Abreu at $3.9K going up against the Orioles. I know he’s had a little bit of a power outage of late, but he’s still hitting .328 against right-handed pitching this month.
He’s going up against Spenser Watkins, who is absolutely the type of pitcher that could help Abreu have a nice little power surge today. (Watkins has a) 44% fly-ball rate against right-handed hitting since the break, 34% hard-contact rate against right-handed hitting since the break.
Nick’s Pick: Jose Abreu ($3,900)
