Felix Hernandez, P, Seattle Mariners

FanDuel Price: $10,700

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Felix Hernandez's decline has been well documented, and he is coming off of his worst start of the season, in which he allowed eight runs on nine hits with just one strikeout and three FanDuel points. With top-end options like Stephen Strasburg, Jon Lester, Jose Fernandez, and Corey Kluber also available, Felix is unlikely to be popular.

Why You Should Use Him:

While Hernandez hasn't been striking people out at anywhere near his career clip, he's still been effective at limiting runs, with a 2.21 ERA through six starts (though his SIERA is 4.56).

He gets a chance to bounce back from his last start in a matchup against the Rays, who have been horrible against right-handed pitching this season. Tampa Bay currently ranks 25th in wOBA against righties and leads the MLB in strikeout rate against righties with a 27.2 percent mark.

Vegas has Seattle as the fourth-most likely team to pick up a win tonight, too, which further boosts Hernandez's floor in this matchup. He is one of the safest options on the slate, and his matchup with the free-swinging Rays gives him some upside, too.
