4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/29/17
In his second game since returning from the disabled list, Jayson Werth has a great matchup. Who else makes for a strong sleeper play in daily fantasy baseball on Tuesday?

Scott Schebler, OF, Cincinnati Reds

FanDuel Price: $3,000

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Charlie Blackmon is at home against a righty? Yes, please. So far in 2017, Blackmon's crushed righties at Coors to the tune of a 1.300 OPS, 46.3% hard-hit rate, and 41.8% fly-ball rate.

Thanks to a recent disabled list stint to go along with a July where he only batted .136, Scott Schebler is likely to be ignored.

Why You Should Use Him:

Schebler struggled last month, but he's hit the ground running since returning from his injury -- in his last 27 plate appearances, he's recorded a 202 wRC+, 45.8% hard-hit rate, and 33.3% fly-ball rate.

He also gets to face Chris Flexen of the New York Mets, who hasn't performed very well since getting promoted to the big leagues. In 28 innings of work, Flexen's recorded a 6.33 SIERA with a 14.3% strikeout rate and 15.0% walk rate. That's not a recipe for success.

He's also struggled against lefties, who have ripped him to the tune of a 31.0% hard-hit rate and 53.7% fly-ball rate.
