Aaron Altherr, OF, Philadelphia Phillies

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Many people are unaware that the New York Yankees' .342 wOBA is the second best in baseball. Primarily led by Aaron Judge, but also Brett Gardner and Jacoby Ellsbury, the Yankees outfield has played a big part. All three should be highly owned in a tasty matchup against Mat Latos -- the Yankees implied team total of 4.89 runs is the second-highest on the slate.

Limited to only 229 plate appearances last season due to a nasty wrist injury, Aaron Altherr of the Philadelphia Phillies is easy to overlook.

Why You Should Use Him:

Altherr has also seen low ownership this season because he wasn't playing much. The Phillies signed Howie Kendrick to be their primary left fielder, but with him getting injured, the Phillies were forced to play Altherr, and he's been raking to the tune of a .400 wOBA over 53 plate appearances and a 32.4% hard-hit rate.

While the Phillies will face Jon Lester, it's important to note that he's struggled a bit lately. He owns a 3.82 SIERA this season and his 72 stolen bases allowed over 2015-16 are the most by any pitcher. Altherr's power-speed combo makes for an interesting choice on the slate, and one that is likely to not see a ton of ownership.
