4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/12/17
Magneuris Sierra, OF, St. Louis Cardinals
FanDuel Price: $2,400
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
With an implied team total of a whopping 5.46 runs, the Los Angeles Dodgers take on Tyler Chatwood and the Rockies at Coors Field. Yasiel Puig and Joc Pederson will surely be popular among outfielders.
With just four big league games played to his ledger (and the only ones above High-A), Magneuris Sierra could easily be overlooked on a full slate of games.
Why You Should Use Him:
His MLB experience is limited, but Sierra seems to be lightning in a bottle. With a few injuries to the St. Louis Cardinals' outfield -- including Stephen Piscotty, Dexter Fowler, and Jose Martinez -- Sierra has been forced into some early playing time.
It hasn't been bad, though. Despite hitting toward the bottom of the order, he's produced double-digit FanDuel points in three consecutive games.
The matchup is also quite nice, as the Cards will face Eddie Butler of the Chicago Cubs at home. While Butler is making his season debut, his previous stint with the Colorado Rockies didn't go well. His "best" season came in 2016, where he spun a 4.53 SIERA over 64 innings pitched.
He's also struggled against left-handers, who have posted a .434 wOBA against Butler throughout his career.
Sierra and the Cardinals look to be primed for a big evening.
