Adam Morgan struggles with hard contact in the air, but gets a favorable park switch against ailing Marlins

Adam Morgan has struck out 13 of his last 48 batters with just two walks, but three HRs. A 0.92 GB/FB and 35.9 Hard% are the issues at hand here, but he gets a park upgrade in Miami against an offense with little power (88 wRC+, 9.7 HR/FB at home) and a 22.3 K% vs LHP. With Ozuna joining Stanton on the sidelines (or bench), Jeff Francoeur (.144 ISO) and Martin Prado (.152 ISO) become the power against LHP in this lineup. Don't consider it an endorsement of Morgan as much as an indictment of the Marlins for a low cost. That said, there are a couple of bats worth a look here. RHBs have a .377 wOBA and 35.9 Hard% against Morgan in his career. This lowly lineup is still projected for 4.6 runs. Martin Prado still has a 202 wRC+ vs LHP despite the limited power this year and a 52.6 Hard% over the last week. He may be one of the top values at 3B on FanDuel ($3.1K). Destin Hood immediately becomes viable as a RHB in the second spot for $2.6K on either site without even having to know anything else about him (there's not really anything interesting to know).
