4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 4/6/17
Making his first start for Atlanta, Jaime Garcia has a nice opportunity with potentially low ownership.

Yasiel Puig, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $2,700

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

If you're looking for some studs in the outfield, you won't have to look very hard today. There are four outfielders priced at $4,000 or higher for Thursday's DFS contests, including Mike Trout and Bryce Harper.

Combine that with a contest at Dodgers Stadium, which ranked 29th in 2016 in runs created, and Yasiel Puig could see low ownership.

Why You Should Use Him:

Despite all the negatives working against Puig, it's hard to ignore this juicy matchup against Jered Weaver and the San Diego Padres.

Weaver and his 83 mile-per-hour fastballs got blasted by righties last year, which led to a career-worst 39.7% hard-hit rate against him, along with a .529 slugging percentage. At a cheap price point and considering his quick start, he could be another source of salary relief on offense.
