Michael Conforto, OF, New York Mets

FanDuel Price: $3,200

The New York Mets are another team that's unlikely to garner much attention, but they actually face one of the weakest pitchers on the board in Casey Kelly.

Kelly has only logged 10 2/3 Major League innings thus far, but he posted a poor 4.91 FIP and 18.4% strikeout rate in Triple-A before his call-up. Plus, he owns a miserable 5.70 ERA for his career at the big league level (72 2/3 innings).

Meanwhile, the deeper we get into the season, the more Michael Conforto resembles his prior form. Since the All-Star break, he's producing a potent 48.8% hard-hit rate, .373 wOBA, and .237 ISO. Owning a career 132 wRC+ versus righties, he continues to be a compelling play down the stretch in plus matchups.
