Chase Utley, 2B, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $2,500

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

DJ LeMahieu is absolutely on fire, and is poised to keep the heat up tonight. Owner of three 18.0-plus FanDuel outings in his last five games, and with a nice little added boost of the friendly confines of Coors Field, LeMahieu is sure to be a chalky play at second.

Thirty-nine-year-old, Chase Utley is stuck in a platoon role for the Los Angeles Dodgers, a role that often leads to some low ownership rates for the vet.

Why You Should Use Him:

Even though he's in the twilight of his career, Utley continues to produce at a high rate, putting up an impressive .325 wOBA, which includes a .175 ISO against right-handed pitching.

Tonight, he will lock horns with Tyler Pill, who may be a bit of an unknown. This season is Pill's first at the major-league level, and as we've seen in a small sample size, lefties have given him some problems, to the tune of a .667 slugging percentage with a .463 wOBA. Small sample size or not, we can't ignore that.

Buyer beware -- Pill's batted-ball data isn't too terrible. Against those lefties, he's allowed only a 13.3% fly-ball rate. But if you're willing to take the chance, Utley makes for a cheap pivot.
