Rougned Odor, 2B, Texas Rangers

FanDuel Price: $2,800

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Jose Altuve and Daniel Murphy are both in awesome spots tonight and will likely be the most popular second base options. Rougned Odor is in a lefty-lefty matchup and is unlikely to be an overly popular play.

Why You Should Use Him:

In three games since returning from suspension, all Odor has done is collect five hits, three of which were of the extra-base variety, while piling up 53.1 FanDuel points. His 11.1 FanDuel points per game on the season is the 7th-highest mark among qualified starting second basemen on today's slate, yet he is priced as the 20th-most expensive second baseman.

Yes, Odor draws a lefty-lefty matchup while the top-end second base options find themselves in better on-paper matchups. Odor has pretty even splits throughout his career, though, and has actually hit lefties better this season -- posting a 32 percent hard-hit rate against them.

Odor's opponent, Dallas Keuchel, has been very tough against lefties throughout his career, but he also hasn't pitched anything like himself this season. His ERA sits at 5.50 on the year, and the last time he faced this Texas offense, he allowed 13 hits and 6 runs. Vegas is projecting the Rangers for 4.5 runs today, and Odor will likely play a role in reaching that total while hitting fifth.

Obviously, the lefty-lefty matchup doesn't jump off the page at first glance, but from a game theory perspective, it's hard to pass up a player with Odor's talent in tournaments when he is this cheap and low-owned.
