Evan Longoria, 3B, Tampa Bay Rays

FanDuel Price: $3,800

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

With Josh Donaldson hitting at the Rogers Centre and Anthony Rendon and the Nationals sporting the highest implied team total of 5.47 runs, Longoria should go largely ignored. Longoria only has one home run in his last 14 games, too.

Why You Should Use Him:

The Rays face Michael Pineda, who's probably been a bit unlucky in 2016 -- he's 6-11 but sports a 3.44 SIERA.

Pineda's run into trouble at home with home runs, as he's given up two home runs per nine innings pitched, and that spikes to 2.48 home runs per nine innings pitched to right-handed batters at home.

Longoria is actually better against righties, sporting a .260 ISO and .877 OPS (versus .205 ISO and .782 OPS, respectively). He makes for a strong play.
