Michael Conforto, OF, New York Mets

FanDuel Price: $3,500

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

The Boston outfield will be popular in a matchup against R.A. Dickey, as will the Houston outfield against Jesse Hahn. Assuming he is deemed healthy enough to play, Gregory Polanco will likely be a popular option against Jered Weaver. Michael Conforto has struggled recently and is unlikely to be popular on this deep outfield slate.

Why You Should Use Him:

Conforto is always worth targeting when facing a weak right-hander on the mound, and today's opponent certainly qualifies. After Yordano Ventura's decent outing last night, Tom Koehler has reclaimed the prestigious title of the worst SIERA in the MLB, with a 5.59 mark. Koehler's walk rate is nearly as high as his strikeout rate, and he is certainly worth targeting hitters against tonight.

Koehler has actually posted pretty even splits against righties and lefties throughout his career. The same cannot be said for Conforto, though, who absolutely crushes right-handed pitching.

Through 287 at-bats in his short career, Conforto has posted an obscene 44.5 percent hard-hit rate against right-handed pitching. He has 17 career home runs, not a single one of which has come against a lefty.

The dude can absolutely rake against righties, and he should do so tonight. Give him a look in tournaments.
