Trea Turner hasn’t necessarily been an elite option since returning from injury, as he’s hitting .219 with a .313 slugging percentage and a .577 OPS in those seven games. He also owns three extra-base hits, one RBI, and two steals in those contests. Turner has also posted 37% hard hit and 44% fly ball rates with a 90 MPH exit velocity since returning from injury. He gets a plus matchup against Pablo Lopez in Washington, though, and Turner is hitting .296 with a .556 slugging percentage and a .922 OPS at home this season. He comes with a tremendous combination of power and speed, which adds to his fantasy upside. The Washington Nationals feature an implied run total of 4.9 runs tonight, and Turner should play a large role in that as their leadoff batter.
We get a large discount on Josh Bell, who is one of the hottest hitters in the MLB, because of his matchup against Walker Buehler. While Buehler is an above average pitcher, he isn’t untouchable, especially when throwing on the road. Bell enters this game with a .410 average, .923 slugging percentage, and 1.400 OPS over his last 10 games. He owns 8 extra-base hits (6 home runs) and 13 RBIs in those games. He has also posted a 72% hard hit rate with a 100 MPH exit velocity over the last 15 days. Bell has been at his best against right-handed pitching, as he brings 0.091 wOBA and 0.084 ISO differentials against righties into this game. I’m taking one of the hottest hitters in the MLB at a discount against a tough pitcher, who tends to struggle on the road.
