Kevin Pillar, OF, Toronto Blue Jays

Price: $2,900

Even though they allowed James Paxton to throw a no-hitter last night, the Toronto Blue Jays offense does offer some solid value tonight. Their 4.64 implied total is a solid mark, and they draw an interesting matchup against Seattle lefty Wade LeBlanc.

LeBlanc has posted some decent numbers in the Majors, bust most of his success has come as a reliever. Just looking at his work as a starter since 2016, he has allowed a .344 wOBA and 4.53 xFIP. Those numbers jump to a .360 wOBA and 4.75 xFIP if we look at his work against right-handed bats.

Kevin Pillar is off to a strong start to 2018, with a .379 wOBA and .228 ISO. He's coming off a 2017 campaign that saw him tag southpaws for a big .395 wOBA, and this is a terrific spot for him to keep rolling.
