4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/31/17
We're going to want exposure to the Red Sox for their date with Mike Pelfrey, and Deven Marrero is a cheap way to get just that. Who else sticks out as a potential sleeper play?

Deven Marrero, SS, Boston Red Sox

FanDuel Price: $2,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

After going through a bit of a cold spell, Trea Turner is up to his usual tricks again. Over his last eight games, he's put up 18.0-plus FanDuel points four times, and he'll face Matt Cain, who's struggled with a 5.21 SIERA this year.

With only a .194 batting average and .269 wOBA this season, Deven Marrero hasn't caught the attention of a whole lot of folks this year. He's likely to see low ownership tonight.

Why You Should Use Him:

There were some fireworks at Guaranteed Rate park last evening, and Vegas thinks they are likely to continue again as the game has an over/under of 9.5 runs tonight, including a healthy 5.2 implied team total for the Red Sox.

They'll face Mike Pelfrey, who's been pretty Mike Pelfrey-like this year. He's logged a 5.18 SIERA and given up 6 homers over 39 2/3 innings pitched this season.

Despite some struggles to start the year, Marrero has picked things up as of late. Over his last 10 games, he's logged 10.0-plus FanDuel points five times, fueled by a strong .177 ISO mark this season.

At a virtually free price point, Marrero gives you exposure to a struggling Pelfrey while giving you some flexibility to spend up at other positions.
