Yordano Ventura, P, Kansas City Royals

FanDuel Price: $8,100

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Among cheap options, Zach Davies will likely hog the ownership in a start at Petco, leaving Yordano Ventura underowned.

Why You Should Use Him:

If you're looking for a cheap pivot off of Davies, look no further than Ventura. The volatile righty is coming off of a complete game against the Rangers and has now held his opponent to three runs or fewer in four straight starts and six of his last eight.

He'll look to build off of his recent success in tonight's matchup with the Rays, who have been striking out like crazy lately. After looking completely helpless at the plate in Danny Duffy's dominant 16-strikeout performance last night, Tampa Bay is up to a ridiculous 30.1 percent strikeout rate over the past week.

On the year, they rank just 24th in wOBA against righties and 3rd in strikeout rate, with a 24.3 percent mark.

Ventura is too dangerous to use in cash games, but he is an exciting salary-saving option whom you can get at low ownership tonight. Give him a look in tournaments.
