Jake Lamb, 3B, Arizona Diamondbacks

FanDuel Price: $3,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Jake Lamb faces Cincinnati Reds lefty Brandon Finnegan, who is really tough on left-handed bats. Finnegan is holding lefties to only a .286 wOBA, and given the lefty-lefty matchup, Lamb will more than likely see low ownership.

Why You Should Use Him:

Lamb launched his 25th home run on Wednesday and enjoys the confines of Chase Field, as he has a 1.013 OPS and .362 ISO at home.

Even healthier for Lamb is that his ISO rises against left-handed pitching at home by 67 points to an absurd .419. He also cuts down on his strikeouts against lefties by 4.4 percentage points.

Lamb makes for a nice contrarian play in tournaments on Friday's slate, especially if the Diamondbacks can knock around Finnegan early and get to the MLB's worst bullpen.
