Rick Porcello, Boston Red Sox

FanDuel Price: $8,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

If paying down at pitcher, people are likely to roster Eickhoff at $1,500 cheaper than Rick Porcello.

Why You Should Use Him:

Despite being first in FanDuel points per game (43.8) among today's pitchers, Porcello comes in as just the seventh-most expensive pitcher. He has scored at least 45 FanDuel points in four of his past five starts.

His opponent today, the Athletics, rank just 22nd in wOBA against right-handed pitching, so Porcello should have no problem keeping the good times rolling. He has an excellent chance to pick up his sixth win of the season against Eric Surkamp, who has a 5.59 ERA this season.

Eickhoff is the safer cash game play of the two value plays, but Porcello's combination of upside and low ownership make him a preferable tournament option.
