Logan Morrison, 1B, Tampa Bay Rays

FanDuel Price: $3,000

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Mark Reynolds could see sky-high ownership rates tonight -- he will face struggling Detroit Tigers starter Jordan Zimmermann (5.25 SIERA) in Coors Field, and is only $3,700 to roster.

Stuck in a horrific August slump with a mark of a 99 wRC+, his worst monthly mark in 2017, Logan Morrison of the Tampa Bay Rays could see low ownership.

Why You Should Use Him:

Some players hate to travel, but the Rays first baseman isn't one of them. In 2017, on the road against right-handed pitching, Morrison's posted a 183 wRC+, including a 1.085 OPS and a 41.6% hard-hit rate.

He also gets the added benefit of facing Ian Kennedy of the Kansas City Royals, who's allowed a 45.7% hard-hit rate and a 50.9% fly-ball rate to left-handed batters.

All of this adds up to a potentially explosive night for Morrison.
