Daniel Palka, OF, Chicago White Sox

Price: $2,900

It's not something we've seen often this season, but the Chicago White Sox have a big implied total today, with their 4.99 mark stacking up as the second-best on Wednesday' six-game main slate.

They draw a great matchup against Kansas City Royals righty Jake Junis, whose 4.19 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) in 2018 brings his career-average to 4.33 over his first two seasons in the Majors.

Daniel Palka is a risky play, with a .331 wOBA and 35.1% strikeout rate against right-handers. His upside more than makes up for that though. Over 211 plate appearances he has turned a 38.1% hard-hit rate and 43.7% fly-ball rate into a .275 ISO, giving him a huge ceiling for a guy priced this low.
