FanDuel Price: $3,100
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
With the top implied team total of the day at 5.13 runs, Cleveland Indians short stop Francisco Lindor is certain to generate some long looks from players. He'll face Miguel Gonzalez, who's posted a 4.83 ERA and only struck out 13.3% of batters this year.
Andrelton Simmons and his teammates are more than likely to see low ownership rates with the re-emergence of Brad Peacock, who's been out-of-this-world good. In 31 1/3 innings pitched, Peacock has struck out 37.6% of hitters with a 2.80 SIERA.
Why You Should Use Him:
Slotted into the top of the lineup as of late, Simmons has made for a strong play in recent contests. In his last six games, he's posted 9.0-plus FanDuel in four.
And while Peacock has been great, past performance has indicated these early starts may be an aberration. As a starter in 2015 and 2016, Peacock posted SIERAs of 5.23 and 4.55, respectively.
A closer look at Peacock's batted ball profile shows some warts as well. Righties have posted a 28.1% hard-hit rate along with a 40.6% fly-ball rate, which could lead to some upside for Simmons.
With a game tonight in Houston, which ranks 13th in home run factor over the last three seasons, Simmons could be a sneaky play.
