4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/1/17
At a surprisingly cheap price point, Melky Cabrera is in a great spot tonight. Who else makes for a strong sleeper play?

Kendrys Morales, 1B, Toronto Blue Jays

FanDuel Price: $2,800

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

As if the Los Angeles Dodgers weren't already racing out ahead of the pack, yesterday's acquisition of Yu Darvish signaled they are all in. Already led by a great offense, including rookie Cody Bellinger, who's socked 28 homers and faces rookie Lucas Sims, they'll look to continue their hot play tonight.

With only two base-knocks in his last 22 at-bats, and slightly overshadowed by teammate Justin Smoak's great season, Kendrys Morales is likely to be ignored.

Why You Should Use Him:

Tonight may be the night Morales can get back on track, as he has a date with Mike Pelfrey of the Chicago White Sox.

Pelfrey continues to get socked by lefties, who have ripped him for a .376 wOBA, which includes a 34.7% hard-hit rate and a 42.1% fly-ball rate.

As a lefty, Morales has posted an impressive batted-ball profile with a 37.6% hard-hit rate and a 32.1% fly-ball rate. This could be just the matchup to right the ship.
