Marcus loves Kevin Pillar at the stone-cold minimum $2,500 because Texas has moved him into the leadoff spot against southpaws. Robbie Ray’s early-season collapse — 16.8% walk rate, 1.85 HR/9, and a 44% hard-hit rate — makes the Rangers one of the top value stacks. Pillar brings stolen-base juice and will hit in front of the team’s power bats, giving him multiple paths to paying off salary while freeing up cap space for Coors exposure.
