Charlie Blackmon, OF, Colorado Rockies

FanDuel Price: $3,100

Getting a discount on a player like Charlie Blackmon always seems extremely tempting, but upon further review, we probably don't want to roster the Colorado Rockies' star outfielder this evening.

He gets the task of facing lefty hurler Sean Newcomb, who's been tough on lefties this year with a .174 batting average and 26.0% strikeout rate. That becomes important to note when we peep Blackmon's numbers in this split, in which he's recorded only a 32.4% hard-hit rate and .150 isolated power (ISO).

Even scarier are Blackmon's pronounced home-road splits. He sports a .387 wOBA in Denver but only a .316 mark on the road. Blackmon's normally a boss, but tonight is a good night to pivot to different outfield options.
