David Peralta, OF, Arizona Diamondbacks

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

David Peralta has been slumping recently, and the Diamondbacks have a modest implied team total of 3.8 runs.

Why You Should Use Him:

Peralta hasn't hit well lately, but a matchup with rookie right-hander Aaron Blair might be what he needs to get back on track. Blair has good stuff but has given up a lot of fly-balls to start his MLB career.

Whether you believe Blair is a pitcher to attack or not, you can't deny that Peralta has absolutely crushed right-handers in his career. He has raised his slugging percentage from .333 against lefties to .527 against righties, while also raising his ISO from .113 to .212, his wOBA from .276 to .381, and his hard-hit rate from 28.4 percent to 34.1 percent.

He's a bit too risky for cash games tonight, but his upside makes him worth a look in tournaments at this price.
