Didi Gregorius, SS, New York Yankees

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

There are a few different ways to go at shortstop tonight, and while Didi Gregorius could garner some attention as a value play, New York's 4.2 implied run total (16th-highest) likely will keep him from being too popular.

Why You Should Use Him:

Gregorius has responded well to moving up in the order, launching two homers in five games. He has four homers over his past nine games and should continue to thrive near the top of New York's batting order.

Gregorius draws a matchup against righty Jered Weaver, whose 5.32 ERA is the fourth-worst among qualified starting pitchers. He's given up 10 combined runs in his past two starts and sports a 6.04 xFIP (second-worst among qualified pitchers) against left-handed hitters this season.

Gregorius, a lefty, hits right-handed pitching much better than left and should have no problem in possibly the most left-handed friendly matchup possible. He's a viable play in all formats tonight.
