4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/28/17
Astros rookie Derek Fisher was recently called up and has a tasty matchup against Jordan Zimmerman. Who else makes for a strong sleeper play?

Mike Napoli, 1B, Texas Rangers

FanDuel Price: $3,000

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

While he'll face a hurler in Michael Wacha who's been throwing the ball well, Paul Goldschmidt is at it again in July. He's posted a .409 wOBA for the month and is sure to see a bunch of ownership.

Even though he's been red-hot as of late, Mike Napoli is the 27th-most expensive first baseman on the slate, and will probably go all but unnoticed.

Why You Should Use Him:

As the weather has heated up in Texas, so, too, has Napoli.

In the month of July, Napoli has posted a 1.000 OPS and a ridiculous .406 ISO. For the year, at home against right-handed pitchers, Napoli has been at his best, posting a .337 ISO this year.

Even better for the Texas Rangers is that they'll face a struggling Chris Tillman. Tillman's logged a less than stellar 7.01 ERA this year, and he's allowed a 36.9% hard-hit rate and 41.3% fly-ball rate to same-sided righties.

Keep Napoli in mind for a cost saving option who could be in play for a big evening.
