5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/24/16
Kyle Seager, 3B, Seattle Mariners
FanDuel Price: $4,000
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Kyle Seager is seemingly perpetually underowned, and tonight should be no exception. I'd expect the ownership to be spread among Kris Bryant and Todd Frazier at the top end, with Nick Castellanos and Adrian Beltre being fairly popular cheap options.
Why You Should Use Him:
The positive regression was clearly coming for Seager after a ridiculously slow start, and come it did. Since April 24th, Seager has a .337 batting average, .644 slugging percentage, .307 ISO, and .436 wOBA. His strikeout rate is down to 10.7 percent during that span, and he has posted an impressive 41.1 percent hard-hit rate.
He has slowed down a bit recently, but the past month reflects just how dangerous he is with the bat. He's even better against right-handed pitching, which bodes well against his opponent today, right-hander Kendall Graveman.
Graveman has a 5.48 ERA and 4.36 SIERA in eight starts this season, and Vegas has Seattle getting to him for 4.2 runs tonight. Seager should be a big part of that while hitting in the middle of the order. He is an excellent play in all formats.
