7 Underpriced Players on FanDuel's Opening Daily Fantasy Baseball Slate
If you want to pay for studs on opening day, you need to find some values. Which players are underpriced for FanDuel's opening slate of daily fantasy baseball?

Logan Forsythe, $2,800

Solid spot in the order? Check. Awesome offense? Check. Individual talent? You bet. And a dope matchup? Absolutely. Logan Forsythe got it all, yo.

In his trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Forsythe moves to a talent-filled squad whose lineup he will sit atop. There's value in that from a volume perspective, but having guys like Corey Seager and Justin Turner behind him means he's going to have chances to score some runs. His allure, though, goes beyond just a great situation.

Last year, Forsythe finally figured out how to hit right-handed pitching. He went from a 27.5% hard-hit rate versus righties in 2015 up to 35.0% in 2016 while also boosting his fly-ball rate. This allowed him to bop 16 home runs against them in 443 plate appearances, up from 7 in 422 trips the previous year.

The opposing San Diego Padres haven't announced their starter for opening day yet, but it doesn't matter. Their projected rotation and bullpen are both full-blown train wrecks that will allow plenty of stacks against them this year. That starts with the Dodgers on Monday, and Forsythe will be a big part of our lineup building.
