5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 6/30/16
Kyle Seager, 3B, Seattle Mariners
FanDuel Price: $3,600
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Kyle Seager is under appreciated by the daily fantasy community, and with the complexion of today's third base position that isn't likely to change. Anthony Rendon, Kris Bryant, and Jose Ramirez are just a few third basemen in good spots tonight.
Why You Should Use Him:
Let's play a game. I have two players for you, Player A and Player B. The table below shows both players' numbers.
| Player | Average | Slugging Pct | ISO | Hard-hit Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Player A | .303 | .563 | .26 | 40.5% |
| Player B | .297 | .568 | .271 | 37.3% |
Pretty even, right? Player B displays Josh Donaldson's 2015 numbers, the year in which he collected 41 homers, 122 runs, and 123 RBI. Donaldson was considered by most the best third baseman last season.
Player A represents Seager's numbers since April 24, 2016 -- a 61-game sample size. My point? The dude has been hitting like one of the best hitters in the game for over two months now -- give him some respect!
Tonight, Seager will face off against the aforementioned Chris Tillman. Similar to Cano, Seager has posted much better career numbers against righties.
He is hitting just as well as the big-name third basemen but comes at a lower price and ownership. Take advantage in tournaments while you still can.
