4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 6/23/17
Tommy Joseph, 1B, Philadelphia Phillies
FanDuel Price: $3,000
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
The Philadelphia Phillies are visiting the Arizona Diamondbacks, so it shouldn't be surprising that Paul Goldschmidt will be an attractive option. He's quite expensive on FanDuel ($4,800), but he's posted a .442 wOBA this season, will be at home and gets to face Mark Leiter Jr., who's been primarily working in a relief role.
Tommy Joseph is on the other side of this matchup, but could very easily fly under the radar despite his .333 wOBA.
Why You Should Use Him:
Goldschmidt certainly deserves a lot of attention, but so does Joseph. The setting is conducive to offense, as Chase Field has ranked third in park factor over the last three seasons.
Another reason to be bullish about Joseph is his matchup with Patrick Corbin. Corbin is getting hammered by right-handed hitters this year, allowing a .377 wOBA, a 37.9% hard-hit rate, and a 31.9% fly-ball rate to them.
And it just so happens that Joseph has been enjoying the platoon advantage against southpaws. So far in 2017, he's racked up a .277 ISO against them, which includes a 41.7% fly-ball rate.
