4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/24/17
Chris Young, OF, Boston Red Sox
FanDuel Price: $2,500
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Ranking seventh in team wOBA (.334), the Houston Astros are likely to be popular. They'll face Daniel Norris, who's logged a 4.73 SIERA and 46.4% hard-hit rate in 2017. Carlos Beltran and George Springer are sure to get a lot of run in lineups.
After a rough first month during which he put up a .037 ISO, Chris Young of the Boston Red Sox has not been a popular play.
Why You Should Use Him:
Still primarily receiving at-bats in a platoon role, Young is heating up.
Through 43 plate appearances in May, Young has posted a .939 OPS, a .389 wOBA, and a 45.2% hard-hit rate.
Combine that with a juicy matchup against Martin Perez of the Texas Rangers, who's allowed a 37.7% hard-hit rate to righties this year, and Young could be in line for a massive night.
