Kike Hernandez, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $2,100

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Charlie Blackmon ($5,200) is an obvious choice when the Colorado Rockies are at home, but to save a few bucks, Gerardo Parra ($4,000) could also be a popular play. At home versus righties this year, Parra has mashed his way to a cool 1.034 OPS.

Not an every-day player, Kike Hernandez of the Los Angeles Dodgers is sure to be overlooked.

Why You Should Use Him:

Tonight should be a good night to lock in Hernandez, who faces Carlos Rodon of the Chicago White Sox.

Rodon's tough against lefties, but he's allowed 1.80 homers per nine innings pitched to righties off the strength of a 33.3% hard-hit rate and 32.2% fly-ball rate.

All of that makes it the right time to use Hernandez, who has smoked lefties to the tune of a 146 wRC+, a 40.7% hard-hit rate and a 37.2% fly-ball rate this season.
