4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/9/17
With a pair of aces headlining the main slate, Hector Santiago could go overlooked in his matchup with the struggling White Sox. Who else could pop for a big day?

Josh Reddick, OF, Houston Astros

FanDuel Price: $3,100

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Not only will the outfielders in the Coors game see a town of ownership as the over-under currently stands at 11 runs, but Mookie Betts and Andrew Benintendi could be in for big days, too. They'll face Wily Peralta in friendly Miller Park, and the Boston Red Sox currently sport an implied team total of 4.81 runs.

One player who has quietly put up a strong year is Josh Reddick, but he's been overshadowed by the strong play of his fellow outfield mate George Springer. With so many other strong plays on the slate, Reddick should see low ownership.

Why You Should Use Him:

While Reddick's home digs haven't been great for runs created, ranking only 26th, it's far better for power as it checks in 13th in home run factor over the last three seasons.

Reddick, meanwhile, has been white-hot as of late, posting 25-plus FanDuel points twice in his last five starts.

Tonight could be another big game as Reddick is facing Bartolo Colon. The aging righty has posted a 4.57 SIERA so far this season, partly fueled by a .349 wOBA and 39.7% hard-hit rate allowed against lefties.

At a pretty affordable price point, Reddick could be in line for a big evening at Minute Maid Park, and he's been hitting near the top of the lineup against right-handers.
