Dinelson Lamet, SP, San Diego Padres

FanDuel Price: $7,700

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

There are a pile of great pitching options on the Tuesday slate, including Max Scherzer, Chris Archer, and Jacob deGrom. They are likely to be the heavily-owned arms tonight.

One sneaky option is rookie Dinelson Lamet of the San Diego Padres. Lamet in a tough spot on the road at the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks, as a team, rank eighth in wOBA (.325), and they will get to hit in Chase Field, which ranks third in park factor over the last three seasons.

Why You Should Use Him:

Lamet may be a bit of an unknown quantity at the major league level, but he has been a strikeout machine in his minor league stops.

Excluding a blip in the radar at High-A ball last year, Lamet has recorded a strikeout rate of at least 26.5% at each of his stops. So far in 2017, albeit an extremely small sample size of only 10 innings, Lamet has racked up a whopping 38.1% strikeout rate.

While the Diamondbacks have been great overall, they've scuffled over the last 14 days, ranking 28th in team wOBA (.283) while striking out 24.3% of the time.

Lamet makes for a nice contrarian option and can save you a few bucks, as well.
