FanDuel Price: $3,400
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Charlie Blackmon's home splits versus right-handed pitchers read like something out of R.B.I. Baseball -- over 911 career plate appearances, he's posted a .920 OPS, a .193 ISO, and a wOBA of .395. Johnny Cueto is a tough pitcher, but Blackmon is surely to see some strong ownership rates at Coors.
New York Yankees outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury seems to be a far less sexy option. So far in 2017, he's posted a decent .302 average with a .330 wOBA, but the eye-popping fantasy points haven't been there -- over the last four games, he's failed to crack double digits.
Why You Should Use Him:
The Yanks will face Tyler Glasnow of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who has electric stuff, but has had trouble finding the zone this season. Over 6.2 innings pitched, the young hurler has walked 17.5% of hitters faced.
That's good news for Ellsbury, who's swiped four bags so far this season. If we combine that with Francisco Cervelli's poor throwing abilities, Ellsbury could be running wild Friday night.
While Glasnow hasn't allowed a lot of hard contact -- he's posted an impressive hard-hit rate of only 16.7% -- if he can't find the zone, Ellsbury and the Yankees may make it a long evening for the Pirates.
