J.D. Martinez, OF, Boston Red Sox

FanDuel Price: $3,800

J.D. Martinez was listed here yesterday, and came through in a big way with 32.2 FanDuel points at just 6.24% ownership.

Recency bias and a smaller slate will drive up his ownership, but he's still unlikely to be one of the higher-owned sluggers against Sonny Gray. Gray is a ground-ball extraordinaire, so he doesn't make for the best home run target either.

But Martinez remains too cheap, and we know the power is always there waiting, regardless of opponent. Against right-handers in 2017, Martinez posted a 47.1% hard-hit rate and 42.1% fly-ball rate. If you want an alternative to Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, or any one of the Yankees' heavy hitters, look Martinez's way tonight.
