4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/21/17
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.
