4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 4/28/17
Jack-of-all-trades Hernan Perez has been red hot lately and is in a great spot tonight. Who else could fly under the radar?

Hernan Perez, 3B, Milwaukee Brewers

FanDuel Price: $3,100

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

The Washington Nationals really can't keep this up now that they've left Coors Field, can they? They certainly seemed to enjoy the trip out west, posting 46 runs over four games. That was largely fueled by Trea Turner, who went 11-for-21 with 10 runs scored and 11 RBI in the series.

Super-utility man Hernan Perez has been off to an auspicious start, and it's been heavily driven by a lack of playing time. Perez only has 56 plate appearances on the season, as newcomers Eric Thames and Travis Shaw, who are both off to big starts, have garnered the majority of playing time.

Why You Should Use Him:

It's hard not finding a way to jam Perez into lineups with his sparkling recent performance. Over his last three games, Perez has racked up six hits, two jacks, five runs scored, and eight RBI.

He'll square off against Bartolo Colon, who's really had a hard time away from home this season. In 17 road innings pitched, he's allowed a .337 wOBA, a 40.4% hard-hit rate, and a 46.3% fly-ball rate. In total, the ground-ball specialist, who posted a 34.1% fly-ball rate in 2016, has seen that number rise to 44.9% in 2017.

Starting this three-game series in their friendly home digs, which ranks third in home run factor over the last three years, Perez makes for a nice option on the main slate.
