4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/24/17
Mike Napoli, 1B, Texas Rangers
FanDuel Price: $3,000
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Cody Bellinger is in the midst of a crazy rookie season, and he will look to add to those numbers tonight against Bartolo Colon of the Minnesota Twins. That pop is for real -- his .617 slugging percentage makes him a very attractive option this evening against the likes of Colon.
Sporting only a .310 wOBA this year, Mike Napoli of the Texas Rangers is likely to be a lesser-owned choice.
Why You Should Use Him:
Despite that low wOBA, there's a few reasons Napoli makes for a strong play.
The Rangers sport the highest implied team total of the day at 5.9 runs, and that's inflated due to Miami Marlins starter Adam Conley. Conley's allowed a .346 wOBA to righties, including a 37.2% hard-hit rate and 41.0% fly-ball rate.
Napoli has struggled a little this year, but he's hit southpaws, very well, rocking a .950 OPS against lefties.
If you're looking to save a bit at first base, Napoli has some pop to help your lineups.
