4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 4/17/17
Talented rookie Jharel Cotton has big upside at a pretty affordable price point. Which other MLB players could be under-the-radar plays on Monday?

Khris Davis, OF, Oakland Athletics

FanDuel Price: $3,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Outside of finding a way to jam Mike Trout and his expensive $5,200 salary into lineups, the Miami Marlins outfielders are making a strong case for your attention. Over the last six games, Giancarlo Stanton and Marcell Ozuna have combined for six homers, and four of those have come from Ozuna himself.

Khris Davis continues a homestan at O.co Coliseum, which was ranked third worst in home run factor over the last three years.

Why You Should Use Him:

It's not often you can anchor your outfield with player priced at just $3,400, but Davis could do just that. His opponent is A.J. Griffin of the Texas Rangers, who's given up a staggering 48.0% fly-ball rate and 32.5% hard-hit rate for his career to right-handed hitters.

Park factor be damned, Davis has mashed right-handed pitching as a member of the A's at home. In 2016 against righties in his home digs, Davis logged a 48.1% fly-ball rate, a 38.5% hard-hit rate, and a staggering .283 ISO over 198 plate appearances.

With jacks in each of his last two games, now is the time to ride Davis' hot streak.
