Christian Yelich, OF, Miami Marlins

FanDuel Price: $3,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

With the Marlins possessing just the 14th-highest implied team total, Christian Yelich will likely go overlooked once again amid a deep outfield player pool.

Why You Should Use Him:

Yelich has now hit safely in every game out of the All-Star Break, while homering in two of his past three contests. He'll look to keep the good times rolling in an advantageous matchup against right-hander Logan Verrett tonight.

Verrett's 5.05 SIERA on the year suggests that his 4.21 ERA might be in line for some regression. He's struggled in his last five starts, too, posting a 7.77 ERA. He's posted nearly identical splits against lefties and righties in his career, although he has been hit harder by lefties (32.3 percent).

Yelich, a lefty, has posted stronger numbers across the board against righties in his career. This season, he's posted an incredible 42.2 percent hard-hit rate against right-handed pitching. For perspective, his hard-hit rate against lefties is just 24.2 percent this season.

The Marlins 4.5 run projection isn't as flashy as some of the other options on the slate, but it is certainly enough to offer Yelich a fair bit of upside. Give him a long look in tournaments tonight.
