Jesus Aguilar, 1B, Milwaukee Brewers

FanDuel Price: $2,500

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

With the highest implied team total of the day, the Orioles are probably going to see heavy ownership, and that includes slugger Chris Davis. In August, Davis has picked up his pace, bashing 4 homers thanks to a 43.1% hard-hit rate for the month.

A platoon player with only 135 plate appearances to his name, all while striking out 29.7% of the time, Jesus Aguilar should see considerably less ownership, and he's not even a lock to be in the lineup.

Why You Should Use Him:

Even though he isn't getting a ton playing time, Aguilar is often in the lineup against lefties, and the Milwaukee Brewers have a home date tonight with Gio Gonzalez.

This season, Aguilar has been one of the Brewers' best hitters with the platoon advantage, rocking southpaws for a 131 wRC+ and 49.1% hard-hit rate.

Gio has allowed a 30.3% hard-hit rate and 38.9% fly-ball rate this year to righties, and he's been touched up for 17 homers in that split.

If he's in the lineup, Aguilar is a cheap pivot option at first base who has some upside.
