4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/30/17
Luis Valbuena has a great matchup tonight against Bartolo Colon. Who else could make for a nice sleeper play on Tuesday's MLB DFS slate?

Justin Ruggiano, OF, San Francisco Giants

FanDuel Price: $2,300

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Don't look now, but the Toronto Blue Jays seem to be waking up. Over the last two weeks, they lead baseball in team wOBA (.359), and Jose Bautista has been a big part of that. He's sure to get a long look tonight against Asher Wojciechowski at home.

One hitter that isn't setting the world on fire is Justin Ruggiano of the San Francisco Giants. He's only recorded more than 3.0-plus FanDuel points once in his last five games.

Why You Should Use Him:

Even with a recent cold streak, there's a lot of reason to focus on some Giants in your lineups, especially Ruggiano. His new spot in the batting order certainly doesn't hurt -- he's been put into the five hole as they try to kickstart the offense.

Making matters even better, Gio Gonzalez, the Giants' opponent, has struggled this season against right-handed bats. He's allowed a 4.82 xFIP to righties, which is driven by a 35.8% hard-hit rate and a 40.8% fly-ball rate.

Coupled with a wind that's currently blowing out to right-center at 13 miles per hour, and Ruggiano makes for a cheap outfield option with some upside.
