4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/7/17
Lefty Derek Dietrich has been mashing southpaws this year, and makes for a great value play. Who else looms with sleeper potential tonight?

Chris Herrmann, C, Arizona Diamondbacks

FanDuel Price: $2,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Gary Sanchez seems set to be the chalky play at the catcher spot tonight. He's hitting .313 against right-handed pitching, and at home versus righties, he's posted a .934 OPS with a 36.2% hard-hit rate and 34.4% fly-ball rate. He'll face the struggling Junior Guerra in Yankee Stadium tonight.

With only a .179 batting average to his name, Arizona Diamondbacks backstop Chris Herrmann is likely to be overlooked.

Why You Should Use Him:

The Snakes take on take on Tim Adleman at home tonight, and he's been average, with a 4.58 SIERA this season.

His batted-ball profile gets a bit dicey with a 32.6% hard-hit rate and a 44.5% fly-ball rate, and that fly-ball rate jumps up to 50.5% against lefties.

So far at home in 2017 in the desert against righties, Herrmann's posted a .927 OPS and .316 ISO.

For a cheap pivot at the catcher slot, take a look at Herrmann.
