Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Facing struggling lefty Ty Blach in Coors Field, DJ LeMahieu is sure to be a popular play. At home versus southpaws in 2017, Lemahieu has posted a 169 wRC+, including a 35.6% hard-hit rate.
Slumping to a .232 batting average in the second half of 2017, Brandon Drury of the Arizona Diamondbacks isn't going to be a highly-owned option.
Why You Should Use Him:
Drury has had some struggles in the second half, but his batted-ball profile reveals there's some serious upside that could be on the horizon.
In August, Drury sported a 46.7% hard-hit rate and 37.8% fly-ball rate, and he will get to take advantage of a pitcher who's been struggling as of late. In his 27 August innings, Hyun-jin Ryu allowed a 39.0% hard-hit rate and 35.8% fly-ball rate.
For the season, Ryu has struggled against right-handed batters, who have knocked him for a 37.7% hard-hit rate. A deep dive on Ryu's recent starts reveals there may be trouble brewing -- sporting an 11.2% swinging-strike rate mark on the year, his last four starts have been among his worst, including a low-water mark of only 5.4% two starts ago, and 7.5% his last time out.
