    SportsLine data scientist Stephen Oh has simulated the entire Week 8 slate, plus the rest of the season, 10,000 times and just found three infielders who are way undervalued. These are player to target in a trade, on the waiver wire, or make sure they're in your lineups this week.

    Three undervalued infielders for Week 8 of the Fantasy baseball season:

    1B Jesus Aguilar, Milwaukee Brewers -- Aguilar is projected as the seventh best 1B/DH next week, but ranked 26th in start percentage. Aguilar owned a woeful .368 OPS as recently as April 28, but a good run at the plate has that mark now sitting at .590. 

    2B Kolten Wong, St. Louis Cardinals — Wong is projected to be the sixth best second baseman next week, but is ranked 19th in start percentage. He's expected to produce 3.3 Fantasy points per game, better than players with much higher ownership percentages such as Javier Baez (100 percent) and Ozzie Albies (99 percent) .

    3B Tommy La Stella, Los Angeles Angels - La Stella is projected to be the fifth best third baseman next week, but is ranked 19th in start percentage. La Stella returned from a brief four-game hiatus and hit two home runs in Los Angeles' 13-0 victory over the Tigers on Thursday. His previous career high in home runs for a season was five, but he has now hit nine homers this season. The Angles end the week with a three-game home series against the Royals, who rank near the bottom of the league in accumulative team ERA.
