4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/21/17
On fire since June 1 but still not priced that way, Odubel Herrera could be primed for a big night. Who else could make for a strong sleeper play?

Scooter Gennett, 2B, Cincinnati Reds

FanDuel Price: $3,100

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

With the second highest implied team total of the day, Houston Astros are likely to be a popular play, and for good reason. Ubaldo Jimenez has been brutal in 2017, posting a 7.01 ERA. Jose Altuve is likely to be a chalky play at second.

One less obvious option is Scooter Gennett, but ignore him at your own risk -- the Cincinnati Reds just named him the full-time starter, and he could be in line for a big night.

Why You Should Use Him:

Gennett has provided plenty of pop this year. His .277 ISO would be a career-best mark, and he will look to add to that tonight against Jose Urena of the Miami Marlins.

Urena has been solid this season, but has really hard a hard time with left-handed batters. This year, they've rocked him for a 32.1% hard-hit rate and a 50.8% fly-ball rate.

Playing in the homer-friendly Great American Ball Park, which ranks 11th this year in home run factor, Gennett could be in line for a big score.
