4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/8/17
Lost a bit in the shuffle of a juggernaut offense, Tyler White could be primed for a big night. Who else makes for a solid sleeper play?

Jarrod Dyson, OF, Seattle Mariners

FanDuel Price: $2,700

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Some interesting mid-range options are on the slate tonight, including Minnesota Twins outfielders. They'll face Matt Garza, who's struggled with lefties this year to the tune of a 33.8% hard-hit rate and a 45.1% fly-ball rate. Max Kepler and Robbie Grossman are sure to be popular options given their rather cheap price.

Taking his talents to O.co Coliseum, which ranks 22nd in park factor and 28th in home run factor over the last three years, Jarrod Dyson probably won't get much love.

Why You Should Use Him:

The Seattle Mariners will face Kendall Graveman, who's been pretty average in 2017 with a 4.83 SIERA and a 7.0% swinging-strike rate.

He's allowed a .387 wOBA to left-handed hitters this year, which also includes a 28.8% hard-hit rate and 45.5% fly-ball rate.

Dyson, who's been terrible against lefties (wRC+ of 8), has been far better against right-handers (101 wRC+). With four stolen bases already to his name in August, look for Dyson to be a sneaky point contributor tonight.
