3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/14/17

Drew Butera, C, Kansas City Royals

FanDuel Price: $2,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Ripping a 36.1% hard-hit rate and a 33.0% fly-ball rate at Yankee Stadium, which ranks the best in home run factor over the last three seasons, New York Yankees backstop Gary Sanchez is sure to be a chalky play at catcher.

Only racking up 125 plate appearances this year, Drew Butera, normally the backup catcher for the Kansas City Royals, is sure to be ignored.

Why You Should Use Him:

With Salvador Perez still on the disabled list, Butera has been consistently behind the plate over recent weeks, and could be primed for a big night. He will face rookie Jharel Cotton, who was a preseason darling to many, but has really struggled in 2017.

The young hurler has posted a 4.97 SIERA in 91 1/3 innings of work, with right-handed hitters giving him a huge problem -- they've posted a 35.2% hard-hit rate and 46.2% fly-ball rate against him, leading to 1.74 homers allowed per nine innings.

And it just so happens that Butera has experienced more success against righties. While he's hitting just .214 when facing southpaws, that mark jumps up to .301 against righties. This production is also shown in his wRC+ -- it's currently at just 56 against lefties, but 99 against righties.

Take a look at Butera as a cheap pivot at a tough-to-fill catcher slot.
