Justin Bour, 1B, Miami Marlins

FanDuel Price: $3,000

If he played for most other teams, Justin Bour would probably get more attention in DFS, but as a member of the Miami Marlins, he tends to be a forgotten man.

However, in the right matchups, he's a sneaky-good play, and this is one of those situations as Miami takes on Jhoulys Chacin. Chacin has always struggled against left-handed hitters, and he's allowing a 39.8% hard-hit rate and 43.8% ground-ball rate in this split this year with a 14.3% strikeout rate and 11.7% walk rate.

Bour may not have overall numbers that stand out, but he mashes right-handed pitching, owning a career 130 wRC+ in the split. This year he's posting a 42.0% hard-hit rate and 36.6% fly-ball rate with a .235 ISO against them. Marlins Park may not be ideal, but otherwise, everything lines up for a nice low-owned, low-cost power option in tournaments.
