Ryan Braun, OF, Milwaukee Brewers

FanDuel Price: $4,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

The Milwaukee Brewers sport the lowest implied team total of the day at 3.36 runs. As a result, it;s unlikely that Brewers' bat will see high ownership.

Why You Should Use Him:

Ryan Braun is a lefty killer, and the Brewers will hit against St. Louis Cardinals' southpaw Jaime Garcia.

Braun has posted 1.036 OPS against lefties in 2016, and for his career, the numbers are nearly the same at a 1.030 OPS over 1,260 plate appearances.

In 2016, Garcia has posted his second-highest SIERA of his career at 3.94. The culprit has been his home-run-to-fly-ball rate, which stands at a whopping 17.4% (league average: 13.0%). While some of that is just bad luck, Garcia is allowing a 35.5% hard-hit rate in the second half.
