3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/9/17
Fresh off a disabled list stint, Dexter Fowler has been productive and has another strong matchup tonight in the I-70 series. Who else makes for a strong sleeper play?

Adam Rosales, SS, Arizona Diamondbacks

FanDuel Price: $2,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Eduardo Nunez really must like the East Coast -- as a member of the Boston Red Sox, he's batting a crisp .422, and he's likely to be a popular play against Jake Odorizzi.

Facing ace Alex Wood tonight, Adam Rosales, who was recently acquired, is likely to be ignored.

Why You Should Use Him:

While Wood has been tough this year, some warts are starting to sprout, and Rosales could be a clever option at shortstop.

In his last three turns, Wood has recorded swinging-strike rates under 10.0%, including a season-low mark in his last turn (4.6%). And since the All-Star break, against right-handed batters, Wood has run into some trouble. Over 55 batters faced, righties have knocked him for a 35.9% hard-hit rate.

Combine that with hitter-friendly Chase Field, which checks in at third in park factor over the last three seasons, and Rosales could make for a nice cheap play.
