MLB
4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/18/17
Paul DeJong has shown plenty of pop at the major league level and continues to torment the Mets. Who else makes for a great sleeper play?

Matt Holliday, 1B, New York Yankees

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Facing Sal Romano in Cincinnati, where Great American Ballpark ranks 11th in home run factor this season, Paul Goldschmidt is likely to be a chalky play at first base.

Matt Holliday, who just returned from a disabled list stint that lasted a month, is likely to fly under the radar a bit.

Why You Should Use Him:

Despite being a bit banged up, Holliday's enjoying his new Yankee Stadium home, ripping 16 homers on his way to a .238 ISO this season, his best mark in nearly 10 seasons.

He also gets the added benefit of facing a dreadful Bartolo Colon, who was released from the Atlanta Braves and signed by the Minnesota Twins.

Colon has recorded an 8.14 ERA, and won't get any favors from Target Field, which ranks fifth in home run factor this year.

Combine all those factors together, and Holliday could be in for a huge night.
