4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/25/17
Daniel Descalso has been garnering more playing time, and is making the most of it. Who else makes for a sneaky play?

Luis Castillo, SP, Cincinnati Reds

FanDuel Price: $7,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Two aces are set to dominate tonight's slate, those being Madison Bumgarner, who's returning from injury, and Sonny Gray, who's posted a 3.02 ERA over his last 56 2/3 innings pitched, not to mention not to mention his .230 wOBA since June 1. Both are likely to see high ownership.

One lesser known option is rookie Luis Castillo of the Cincinnati Reds, who's only thrown 35.0 innings at the major league level.

Why You Should Use Him:

Despite having so few innings under his belt, Castillo has been impressive, racking up a 29.5% strikeout rate.

His 3.71 SIERA is strengthened by a strong 13.3% swinging-strike rate, and he's allowed only a 30.6% hard-hit rate.

Castillo will face a Yankees team that's struggling lately -- over the last two weeks, their team .296 wOBA ranks 22nd in the league.

Keep Castillo in mind as a cheap option who will enable you to load up on some big bats.
