Jorge Bonifacio, OF, Kansas City Royals

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Rockies bats will certainly generate a long look at Coors Field, and it certainly helps that they'll face a struggling Matt Moore. So far this season, Moore's put up a 5.01 SIERA, and lefties have actually been the bigger problem (.481 wOBA allowed). Charlie Blackmon and Carlos Gonzalez are sure to be popular.

In a day projected to be filled with a ton of offense, the Royals have one of the lowest implied team totals of the day (4.04 runs). Jorge Bonifacio and crew are probably going to fly under the radar a bit.

Why You Should Use Him:

The Kansas City Royals have been on fire lately. They rank fifth in team wOBA (.351) over the last two weeks, and Bonifacio has been a big part of that resurgence. Through 50 plate appearances this month, Bonifacio has posted a 10.0% walk rate and 39.3% hard-hit rate.

He's also been feasting on right-handed pitching all year, posting identical hard-hit and fly-ball rates (35.4%) in this situation, which has pushed his wRC+ to a mark of 135. That's in stark contrast to the 45 wRC+ he's posted against lefties.

Ricky Nolasco of the Los Angeles Angels has struggled with same-sided bats, as they've knocked him for a 41.4% hard-hit rate and a 40.8% fly-ball rate, leading to a .377 wOBA for righties.

Bonifaco makes for a cheap outfield option with plenty of scoring goodness available.
