Christian Yelich, OF, Miami Marlins

FanDuel Price: $3,800

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Christian Yelich has been swinging a hot bat, but with everyone's attention focused on the likes of Carlos Gonzalez, Charlie Blackmon, and David Peralta at Coors, he will likely go underowned.

Why You Should Use Him:

Yelich has hit safely in six straight games, including three home runs, and has averaged 17.8 FanDuel points during that stretch. He will look to stay hot tonight against right-hander Wily Peralta. Peralta has a 5.01 SIERA this season, after posting a 4.75 mark last year. He's also been abused by left-handed batters during that time.

Insert Yelich, Miami's best left-handed hitter. Yelich has much improved splits against righties and should be a big part of Miami reaching their implied 4.5 run total while hitting third. He is an excellent under-the-radar outfield target tonight if you're fading Coors.
