MLB
4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/19/17
Heating up recently after a slow start, Rougned Odor could be in line for a big night. Who else makes for a solid sleeper play on Friday's MLB DFS slate?

Cameron Rupp, C, Philadelphia Phillies

FanDuel Price: $2,700

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

One catching option in line for a big night is Welington Castillo -- he just returned after a disabled list stint, and he faces a pitcher that's been strong but also returning off the DL in Aaron Sanchez. They've been installed with a pretty high implied team total of 4.58 runs on the evening.

The Philadelphia Phillies, meanwhile, haven't been the most popular play as of late, due in part to their struggling offense. Over the last seven days, they check in at 23rd in team wOBA at .302.

Why You Should Use Him:

Cameron Rupp and crew face off against Trevor Williams of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who's struggled this season. In 19 2/3 innings pitched, Williams has posted a 4.71 SIERA.

The damage is being performed by same-sided bats; righties have posted a wOBA mark of .447, including a 30.0% hard-hit rate.

In Rupp's last eight games, he's posted double-digit FanDuel points five times, including two 20-plus efforts. Roster Rupp for a chance at some crooked numbers.
