Adam Eaton, OF, Chicago White Sox

FanDuel Price: $3,500

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Outfield is very deep today, thanks in part to the Coors game. As a result, Adam Eaton will likely go overlooked.

Why You Should Use Him:

Eaton has been heating up recently, posting a .398 wOBA, .532 slugging percentage, and .234 ISO over his last 14 games. He has an excellent chance to remain hot in tonight's lefty-righty matchup against Yovani Gallardo.

After allowing five runs in his last start, Gallardo's ERA is up to 5.70 on the year. He's been much worse against left-handed batters this season too, posting a 5.12 xFIP against righties and 6.18 against lefties.

Eaton has posted much improved splits across the board against righties and is in line for a potentially big night against Gallardo. He won't get the attention he should because of the Coors game, but he is a solid play in any format tonight.
