4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 4/11/17
Chris Herrmann, C, Arizona Diamondbacks
FanDuel Price: $2,400
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
With Buster Posey of the San Francisco Giants out after taking a nasty pitch to the head, many DFS players could turn to the catchers playing at Coors Field for some production. In addition, Matt Wieters continued his red-hot start on Monday night and should see high ownership.
Off to a bit of a slow start in Arizona, Chris Herrmann of the Arizona Diamondbacks stacks up nicely as a play that could easily fly under the radar.
Why You Should Use Him:
The Diamondbacks are facing the Giants at AT&T Park against Jeff Samardzija, and while the park shift isn't great, Samardzjia has struggled in his career against lefties, surrendering a .331 wOBA and a 36.4% fly-ball rate.
Herrmann, on the other hand, loved facing right-handed pitchers last season. Through 127 plate appearances in 2016, he produced a 42.0% fly-ball rate and a 48.9% hard-hit rate.
