3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 6/8/17
Byron Buxton, OF, Minnesota Twins
FanDuel Price: $2,600
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
It feels like beating a dead horse, but with an implied team total of 5.14 runs, the Houston Astros are sure to see a boatload of ownership. Owning two 40.0-plus FanDuel point games in his last seven contests, George Springer is starting to reach a near must-start status while he's this hot.
With only a .260 wOBA to his name so far this season, Byron Buxton certainly isn't an option who demands your attention.
Why You Should Use Him:
Buxton has been a bit of a feast-or-famine player for the Minnesota Twins this year, and if you've been playing close attention, it's been more feast as of late. Over his last seven games, Buxton's recorded double-digit FanDuel points four times -- all while being priced well under $3,000.
Tonight, he'll face Christian Bergman of the Seattle Mariners. Bergman has really struggled with same-sided bats so far in 2017. Righties have dinged him for a .431 wOBA, 32.3% hard-hit rate and 46.8% fly-ball rate.
Buxton can certainly put up a zero, but he also has some upside at a low price point.
