5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 6/22/16
Nomar Mazara has struggled recently but has a chance to turn things around in tonight's advantageous matchup.

Trevor Bauer, P, Cleveland Indians

FanDuel Price: $8,100

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Those who rely heavily on Vegas will likely roll with Julio Urias tonight, as he has the lowest implied opponent team total. Cole Hamels, Jeff Samardzija, and Joe Ross are likely to be popular options as well. Trevor Bauer will get some attention too, but the aforementioned names should be enough to keep his ownership in check.

Why You Should Use Him:

Bauer has really pitched well recently and has his ERA down to a 3.46 mark for the season as a result. Bauer has thrown at least seven innings in each of his last three starts and has a 1.59 ERA and 24.7 percent strikeout rate during that span.

His opponent tonight, the Rays, rank 23rd in wOBA against righties, and their 25.2 percent strikeout rate against righties is the second-highest in the league.

Bauer's matchup against the free-swinging Rays gives him as much upside as anyone on tonight's slate, which makes him a terrific value as the eighth-most expensive pitcher. He's an excellent play in any format.
