3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/27/17
On the heels of an impressive offensive outburst, third baseman Derek Dietrich has major sleeper potential tonight. Who else makes for an under-the-radar play?

Yoenis Cespedes, OF, New York Mets

FanDuel Price: $3,300

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

After posting 9.0-plus FanDuel points in each of his last four outings, Hunter Renfroe is likely to see high ownership while getting to take aim at rookie Chris Flexen of the New York Mets in his MLB debut.

Battling a hamstring injury along with only hitting one homer over the last month, Yoenis Cespedes is likely to be a bit overlooked.

Why You Should Use Him:

Even though Yo has only posted a .281 wOBA in July, there's room for optimism here. He'll be facing Luis Perdomo, who has been absolutely brutal recently -- he's allowed a .445 wOBA and a .548 slugging percentage to right-handed batters so far this month.

While he's yet to allow a homer in July, a precipitous drop in strikeout rate for Perdomo -- which is down to a season-worst 11.9% this month -- is a bit scary.

Focusing on hitters at Petco, which ranks 24th in park factor over the last three years, doesn't seem like the sharpest idea. However, Cespedes could be a nice outfield play. His 40.7% hard-hit rate and 49.6% fly-ball rate against righties in 2017 doesn't hurt certainly helps, too.
