4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/3/17
John Jaso gets to attack Rookie Davis in a great run-scoring park. Which other possibly overlooked players could produce in MLB DFS?

John Jaso, 1B, Pittsburgh Pirates

FanDuel Price: $2,800

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Freddie Freeman's price continues to skyrocket, and it's not without good reason. His numbers against right-handed pitching are absurd -- so far in 2017, he's posted a .537 wOBA and 1.339 OPS. He's likely to continue to see decent ownership tonight against Jacob deGrom, even with deGrom being a very good hurler.

John Jaso is a much cheaper option, and he's likely to be underowned. Jaso's logged a paltry .257 wOBA over 55 plate appearances so far this season.

Why You Should Use Him:

Jaso makes for a strong play due to his matchup with Cincinnati Reds starter Rookie Davis, who has definitely pitched like a rookie this year.

Davis has issued a pile of walks, logging a 13.2% walk rate along with a 5.35 SIERA. In addition, lefties have posed a real problem for Davis as he's allowed a .553 wOBA (in a small sample size) to left-handed hitters.

Combine that with a park boost from Great American Ballpark (fourth in home run factor over the last three seasons), and Jaso makes for a sneaky play.
