4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/17/17
Quietly earning more and more playing time recently, Eric Sogard is in a great spot on Wednesday. Who else could go overlooked in MLB DFS?

Khris Davis, OF, Oakland Athletics

FanDuel Price: $3,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

While he just recently made his season debut, J.D. Martinez couldn't be any hotter, and his price doesn't seem to have caught up with his production yet. As mentioned earlier, he's got a great matchup against Jimenez, and he's smacked four homers in his first four games this year.

Mired in a slump with only one hit over his last five games, Khris Davis is likely to fly under the radar.

Why You Should Use Him:

While Davis hasn't been productive lately, perhaps some games at home can help -- despite a home stadium that ranks only 28th in home run factor over the last three years, he posted a .264 ISO last season at O.co Coliseum. His power seems to play everywhere.

The A's will face Christian Bergman, who signed a minor league deal with the Seattle Mariners this offseason. In a limited major league sample of 8 2/3 innings pitched, Bergman has struggled to the tune of a 4.99 SIERA, 8.1% strikeout rate and 6.6% swinging-strike rate.

Out of 25 right-handed batters faced this year, Bergman has been ripped for a .364 wOBA -- and it's not a one-year blip. In 2016 and 2015, Bergman allowed marks of .408 and .422 to righties, respectively.

Even though he's been pretty bad lately, Davis is primed to bust out of his slump.
