3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 6/5/17

Sean Manaea, SP, Oakland Athletics

FanDuel Price: $7,700

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Despite a small slate on Monday evening, there are quite a few studs worth paying up for. Carlos Martinez is the highest priced pitcher on the slate, and Jeff Samardzija, Gio Gonzalez and Dan Straily are all $8,500 or higher. They are certain to garner the lion's share of attention.

One stud who's been throwing the ball well but still shouldn't see a lot of ownership is Sean Manaea of the Oakland Athletics. He'll face a red-hot Toronto Blue Jays offense that ranks fifth in team wOBA over the last 30 days (.335).

Why You Should Use Him:

Despite a heavy wind current blowing out to right field, there are a lot of reasons to consider Manaea as your starting pitcher tonight.

The Jays struggle against left-handed pitching this year -- as a team, they rank only 19th in wOBA (.300), while striking out a whopping 22.9% of the time.

And Manaea has been pretty darn strong to start 2017. Over 48 1/3 innings pitched, he's logged a very respectable 3.69 SIERA and a 14.3% swinging-strike rate. If he had enough innings to qualify for the official rankings, that would slide him in with the fifth-best rate in all of baseball, just behind Zack Greinke.

If you're looking for a contrarian option who's not too costly, with a ton of upside potential, Manaea is your man.
