Giancarlo Stanton, OF, New York Yankees

FanDuel Price: $4,800

No doubt, the New York Yankees should be popular tonight, sporting one of the highest implied team totals on the board (5.14) against extreme fly-ball pitcher Marco Estrada.

But with so many expensive elite pitchers on the mound tonight, the masses won't be able to simply load up on all the Bronx Bombers tonight. Most lineups will only be able to fit in one star slugger, and chances are Aaron Judge will be that guy.

Giancarlo Stanton should still garner his share of ownership, but given his much publicized woes at the plate and the tight salary situation, he could get less attention than he should. Stanton's strikeout rate is up to 36.7%, his wOBA sits at just .316, and he last hit a home run on April 4th. That's not great, but he's still showing a 45.0% hard-hit rate, and slump or not, we can't deny the upside of a guy who hit 59 dingers last year. Stanton could very well finally bust out tonight, and he's an easy tournament pivot off Judge, without sacrificing your home run upside.
