Michael Saunders, OF, Toronto Blue Jays

FanDuel Price: $3,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Michael Saunders and the Toronto Blue Jays are projected for just 4.3 runs tonight, which is the ninth-fewest on the slate. With a Coors game on the slate, that's not going to be enough to land Saunders on people's radar tonight.

Why You Should Use Him:

Saunders and the Blue Jays face righty Chad Green, whose ERA sits at 4.94 after being chased in the fourth inning of his most recent start. In four starts this season, Green has a 7.50 ERA and has allowed 8 homers in 18 innings.

Saunders has posted improved numbers across the board against right-handed pitching. This season, he has a ridiculous 42.4 percent hard-hit rate against righties.

Saunders has cooled off considerably following the All-Star Break, and Toronto has a low implied team total, so he is more of a tournament play than cash game play, but he is certainly appealing in tournaments.
