Michael Fulmer, P, Detroit Tigers

FanDuel Price: $8,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Michael Fulmer hasn't been able to pitch deep into games recently due to some dehydration issues, so it seems unlikely that daily fantasy players are going to rush to roster him with all of the options available on tonight's slate.

Why You Should Use Him:

Fulmer has been spectacular this season, posting a 2.40 ERA and 22.8 percent strikeout rate. He will look to carry his success into tonight's matchup against the Rays, who rank 24th in wOBA and 2nd in strikeout rate against right-handed batters this season.

The last time Fulmer faced the Rays, he racked up 11 strikeouts in seven innings, totaling 63 FanDuel points in the end. That was the start of an incredible four-start run for Fulmer, in which he averaged 52.8 FanDuel points per start.

Fulmer shouldn't go anywhere near your cash rosters tonight, but he is an extremely exciting tournament gamble tonight. If he is over his dehydration issues, he has the potential to put up a monster point total against the stirkeout-prone Rays.
