Lorenzo Cain, OF, Milwaukee Brewers

Price: $3,000

The Milwaukee Brewers' 4.91 implied total is the highest mark on tonight's main slate, making this an offense you'll want some exposure to as they take on Cincinnati Reds righty Sal Romano.

Romano has started 19 games since making his big-league debut in 2017. In that time, he has managed a mere 4.89 SIERA while allowing a 10.1% walk rate. His 2018 campaign is off to an especially poor start as he has a 5.92 SIERA through three games.

Lorenzo Cain isn't a killer from the dish, but his 2017 and 2018 campaigns have seen him notch a hard-hit rate north of 31.0% and a wOBA north of .330 in each season. Going back to the start of the 2017 year, he has a .341 wOBA against right-handed pitching, and that's more than enough to offer big value while likely batting near the top of the lineup in this great matchup.
