Austin Jackson, OF, Cleveland Indians

FanDuel Price: $3,300

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Showing signs of life recently, including 18.0-plus FanDuel points in 3 of his last 4 games, Aaron Judge could be heavily owned against Martin Perez of the Texas Rangers. Perez has allowed a .358 wOBA and 34.9% hard-hit rate to righties this season.

Overshadowed by teammates like Carlos Santana, Francisco Lindor, and Jose Ramirez during the Cleveland Indians' monster 15-game winning streak, Austin Jackson could make for a strong outfield option at low ownership.

Why You Should Use Him:

Jackson has been solid all year (.369 wOBA), but he's been especially powerful against lefties, and he will get to show off those skills in a matchup against Baltimore Orioles starter Wade Miley.

Against southpaws in 2017, Jackson has recorded a 170 wRC+ and 1.024 OPS, which is powered by a 31.3% hard-hit rate and 33.7% fly-ball rate. As for Miley, he's been tattooed by righties to the tune of a .363 wOBA and 1.46 home runs allowed per nine innings pitched.
