Alec Bohm, Phillies (+820, FanDuel)

"A lot of this play has to do with the weather being so home run friendly that we'll take a shot on Bohm with a favorable platoon matchup," Fetner said. "He has been heating up lately, hitting three home runs over his last 10 home games. He has been swinging a hot bat, hitting .421 over his last 10 games. Reds starter Andrew Abbott has given up four of his six home runs this season to right-handed batters. Abbott has been sharp over his last three starts with a 0.54 ERA, but we still like the matchup here. Bohm is 3-for-4 with two extra-base hits in his career against Abbott. The home run index is a 10 out of 10 today, which could turn a long fly ball into a home run."
