David Price (BOS): $9,700 @ MIN
The difference between Charlie Morton and Price’s floor and upside are negligible on Wednesday night so look to save the $2,500 and get a better Price instead. He’ll face a Twins team that has the sixth lowest wOBA (.271), league-low ISO (.084) and fourth lowest wRC+ (66) against lefties over the last 30 days. Price will also get the benefit of a pitcher-friendly umpire behind the plate who typically benefits strikeouts and reduces run production when he is calling the balls and strikes.
