4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/11/17
Just off the disabled list with a huge opportunity against Marco Gonzales, Cameron Maybin looks primed to explode. Who else could make for a strong sleeper play?

Cameron Maybin, OF, Los Angeles Angels

FanDuel Price: $2,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Even though he's struggled lately at the dish, Aaron Judge could be a chalky outfield play. At home against lefties, Judge has bashed his way to a .394 batting average, a 1.343 OPS, and a 54.6% hard-hit rate.

Fresh off a disabled list stint, Cameron Maybin is still likely to be overlooked by many DFS eyes tonight.

Why You Should Use Him:

The return of Maybin to the lineup for the Los Angeles Angels couldn't have come at a better time. Despite losing Maybin and Mike Trout to injuries this year, they are only one game back in the Wild Card chase.

The offense needs to get going, and it will look to do so against recently-acquired Marco Gonzales of the Seattle Mariners. So far, both of his starts have been a disaster for the new Mariners southpaw.

In a small sample size of 7 1/3 innings pitched, Gonzales has allowed a 39.3% hard-hit rate, a 35.7% fly-ball rate, and four long balls. Everyone has been ripping him, but righties get the slight nod -- their .889 slugging percentage is somewhat better than the .750 mark lefties have put up.

At a nearly free price, check out Maybin as a salary-saving option and spend up elsewhere.
