FanDuel Price: $3,000
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Sporting a 5.53 SIERA while allowing 1.34 home runs per nine innings pitched, Miguel Gonzalez is likely to be the target of many players tonight. The Los Angeles Dodgers slugging rookie, Cody Bellinger, is sure top be a popular choice at first base.
Struggling to a .317 wOBA this year, one of the lowest marks of his career, Danny Valencia of the Seattle Mariners could see low ownership.
Why You Should Use Him:
Even though 2017 has been rough for Valencia, he has picked things up as of late, rocking a 1.053 OPS and a .401 wOBA in August.
Valencia has long been a DFS darling against left-handed pitching, and tonight, he faces Wade Miley of the Baltimore Orioles. This year against southpaws, Valencia has posted a 36.8% hard-hit rate.
Miley has struggled with the platoon big time in 2017. For the year, Miley's allowed a .366 wOBA and a 33.3% hard-hit rate to right-handed batters.
All of this adds up to a cheap pivot at the first base position.
