Lonnie Chisenhall, OF, Cleveland Indians

FanDuel Price: $2,800

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

After a hot stretch, Lonnie Chisenhall now has zeros in three straight on his game log. With several other ways to go with your outfield spots tonight, it doesn't seem likely that Chisenhall is an overly popular play.

Why You Should Use Him:

Chisenhall was a big part of Cleveland's winning streak, posting some impressive numbers over the past two weeks. Since June 21, Chisenhall has a .446 wOBA, .673 slugging percentage, and 34.2 percent hard-hit rate.

He'll look to carry that success into tonight's lefty-righty matchup against Anibal Sanchez. Sanchez boasts a 6.05 ERA on the year, which is the second-worst among pitchers with at least 70 innings pitched. What's crazy is that number has actually been brought down due to his recent stint in the bullpen. In 11 starts prior to being bumped from the rotation, Sanchez had a 6.67 ERA.

Vegas doesn't see his return to the rotation being a triumphant one, giving the Indians a 4.8 implied team total against Sanchez. Chisenhall, who has hit righties much better in his career, should help the Indians reach that total. At such a cheap price tag, he is an exciting tournament option tonight.
