Tucker Barnhart, C, Cincinnati Reds

Price: $2,900

The Cincinnati Reds are another team with a big implied total tonight, ranking fourth on the night with a 5.48 implied total. Chicago White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito will take the mound tonight, and with his absolutely egregious 6.01 SIERA in 2018 (and 5.57 career-average), it's no surprise that the Reds are expected to score so much.

Tucker Barnhart is on pace for a career-best .322 wOBA this season, and he's doing some strong work against right-handed pitching. He has turned in a 38.7% hard-hit, 14.9% soft-hit and 34.4% fly-ball rate, and over his career his best production has come against righties.

Cheap exposure to an offense against Giolito is hard to pass up, and Barnhart is a great way to get it.
