Christian Yelich, OF, Miami Marlins

FanDuel Price: $3,300

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Outfield is very deep today, and with the Miami Marlins projected for the sixth-lowest team total on the slate, rostering Christian Yelich probably isn't going to be a priority for daily fantasy players.

Why You Should Use Him:

Yelich launched his 13th home run and collected his 69th RBI last night -- both career highs -- and is in a good spot to continue his career season in tonight's lefty-righty matchup against Homer Bailey.

After posting a solid season in 2014, Bailey has struggled with injuries the past two years and hasn't appeared to be the same pitcher when healthy. In his career, he has pitched better to right-handed pitching.

Yelich has hit much better against right-handed pitching and is in line for solid production from an individual perspective tonight. He's too risky to roster in cash games, as Miami's offense could certainly struggle as a whole against Bailey. However, his upside makes him worth a look in tournaments at his low price and ownership.
