Max Kepler, OF, Minnesota Twins

FanDuel Price: $3,000

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

With Kevin Gausman off to a tough start for the Baltimore Orioles (which includes 6.65 ERA and 5.03 SIERA), the Houston Astros are sure to be a popular choice. George Springer and Josh Reddick are certain to get some long looks from DFS players this evening.

Facing one of the stud arms on the day in Chris Archer, Max Kepler and his Minnesota Twins aren't likely to be heavily owned.

Why You Should Use Him:

Kepler has been absolutely crushing this season, rocking a .358 wOBA with a .199 ISO, which also includes a 156 wRC+ against right-handed pitching.

While Archer will be a tough matchup, lefties have given the Tampa Bay Rays ace some trouble. Lefties have destroyed him for a 51.5% hard-hit rate in 2017, coupled with a 34.4% fly-ball rate. There's some homer potential here, for sure.

And what makes Twins lefties an even sneakier option is that Target Field ranks eighth in home run factor.
