Andrelton Simmons, SS, Los Angeles Angels

FanDuel Price: $3,300

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Is Trea Turner back to his old ways? Fresh off the disabled list, he's posted back-to-back double-digit FanDuel point efforts, including a 33.9-point bomb last night. He's likely to be a popular choice up the middle.

Facing lefty Cole Hamels and his 3.78 ERA this season, Andrelton Simmons of the Los Angeles Angels is likely to see a bit less ownership.

Why You Should Use Him:

While Hamels has a strong ERA, a quick glance at his 4.99 SIERA suggests he's getting a bit lucky, and August was not a strong month.

Over the last 31 days, Hamels' strikeout rate fell dramatically -- he whiffed only 14.1% of hitters while walking 9.6% of them. The platoon split has also not been kind to him this season -- righties have knocked him for a 35.9% hard-hit rate and a 33.5% fly-ball rate.

Combine Hamels' struggles with Simmons' .164 ISO mark at home versus southpaws, the Angels shortstop makes for a strong mid-priced option.
