Aaron Hicks, OF, New York Yankees

FanDuel Price: $3,100

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Can super-masher Giancarlo Stanton add to his impressive season against Nick Pivetta of the Philadelphia Phillies? Pivetta's posted a 6.25 ERA so far this season, and the Phillies' home park ranks fifth in home run factor over the last three years.

Part of a Yankees offense that ranks second-to-last in hard-hit rate over the last month (29.5%), Aaron Hicks is likely to be overlooked.

Why You Should Use Him:

The New York Yankees need to make their move in a hurry if they want to win the American League East, and facing struggling lefty Matt Boyd of the Detroit Tigers could be what they need to get the train moving.

Over 90 innings pitched, Boyd has logged a 5.09 SIERA and is especially getting handled by right-handed hitters (38.6% hard-hit rate and 41.9% fly-ball rate allowed).

Hicks, as switch-hitter, is happy to oblige in this situation, as he's posted a 126 wRC+ and .217 ISO from the right side of the plate.
