4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/12/17
Starting to swipe a pile of bags again, Rajai Davis is in a great spot to keep it up on Friday. Which other MLB players could go overlooked on a full DFS slate of games?

Jordan Montgomery, SP, New York Yankees

FanDuel Price: $7,300

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

If you like rostering the best pitcher on the planet, Clayton Kershaw is priced under $10,000 because of a road start at Coors Field. While Coors is Coors, the opportunity to load up with Kershaw at that price point may be hard for many to pass up.

Another heavily-played option may be Cy Young winner Rick Porcello, who is throwing the heck out of the ball recently. The Boston Red Sox are heavy home favorites (-170 money line) against the Tampa Bay Rays, which only adds to his appeal.

New York Yankees rookie Jordan Montgomery is one option that isn't likely to see a ton of play with only five big league starts under his belt.

Why You Should Use Him:

The rookie's pedigree is certainly a talented one -- while his 21.7% strikeout rate is good, but not great, his 13.9% swinging-strike rate shows us that more punchouts could be coming.

While Montgomery hasn't posted a ton of huge scores, he is averaging 30.2 FanDuel points per game, and that's primarily off the strength of allowing just a 22.8% hard-hit rate so far this year.

The southpaw will have his work cut out for him -- the Houston Astros have a team wOBA of .340, after all. However, Montgomery has some intriguing upside based off his recent performance and current price point.
