T.J. Rivera, 3B, New York Mets

FanDuel Price: $2,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Third base has some monster options available on the slate, with 10 hitters priced at $3,500 or higher. The Red Sox, Rangers, Rockies, and Padres all sport implied team totals of greater than five runs, which should lead to low ownership for a cheap option in Mets rookie T.J. Rivera.

Why You Should Use Him:

The Mets face Twins rookie Jose Berrios, who's struggled in 2016 with a 5.17 SIERA over 44 2/3 innings pitched.

Same-sided bats have given Berrios a lot of trouble, as he's allowed a .685 slugging percentage and .470 wOBA to righties in 111 plate appearances.

Rivera has shown decent power at all stops in his minor league journey, most recently posting a .163 ISO in 442 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.
