Jason Kipnis, 2B, Cleveland Indians

FanDuel Price: $2,600

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

The addition of Eduardo Nunez to the Boston Red Sox has transformed them from a good offense to one that is humming on all cylinders. Since June 1st, Nunez has ripped off a .364 batting average, 150 wRC+, and a solid .545 slugging percentage.

Struggling to just a .300 wOBA so far this year, Jason Kipnis of the Cleveland Indians could end up getting ignored quite a bit.

Why You Should Use Him:

Even with some season-long marks that aren't the best, Kipnis deserves some major attention on tonight's slate because the ceiling remains there -- in two of his last three games, he's posted 20.0-plus FanDuel points.

But it's the matchup with Ian Kennedy that's even saucier. Kennedy's allowing 1.81 home runs per nine innings to left-handed bats, including a 44.7% hard-hit rate and a 49.7% fly-ball rate.
