Chris Gimenez, C, Minnesota Twins

FanDuel Price: $2,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

The catching spot might be a tough position to fill tonight, and Yadier Molina will probably dominate ownership. In August, Yadi's posted a .913 OPS and .300 ISO, far and away his best monthly marks of 2017.

Only hitting .192 this season, Chris Gimenez is likely to be overlooked.

Why You Should Use Him:

Gimenez is almost always in the lineup against lefties, and he gets Ryan Merritt tonight, thanks to yesterday's rainout.

Versus lefties this season, Gimenez has logged a 42.1% hard-hit rate and a 41.7% fly-ball rate. At home versus southpaws in 2017, Gimenez's .267 ISO cannot be ignored.

If you're looking for a low price and major upside, check out Gimenez.
