4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/12/17
Rajai Davis, OF, Oakland Athletics
FanDuel Price: $2,800
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
In a home tilt against Pittsburgh Pirates and rookie Tyler Glasnow, the Arizona Diamondbacks possess one of the highest implied team totals of the day at 5.05 runs. A.J. Pollock and Yasmany Tomas are two outfield options sure to see a ton of ownership.
Banged up a bit to start 2017, Rajai Davis has started the season a bit slow -- he's only posted a .257 wOBA, and over a full season, that would be the lowest mark of his career.
Why You Should Use Him:
Davis has picked up the pace quite a bit recently, and has been active on the bases by collecting three steals over his last two games. He'll try to keep that going against the Texas Rangers and Jonathan Lucroy.
After catching 38.9% of would-be base stealers in 2016, Lucroy has only nabbed 31.6% thus far.
Davis will also get the pleasure of facing Andrew Cashner on the mound, who's the not-so-proud owner of a 6.23 SIERA.
