A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
The Toronto Blue Jays (19.7 K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) project to have the 2nd-least strikeout-heavy lineup on the slate.
