4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 9/12/17
The Mets may be a bit of a mash unit, but Travis d'Arnaud could be primed for a big night. Who else makes for a sleeper play for Tuesday's MLB DFS contests?

Travis d'Arnaud, C, New York Mets

FanDuel Price: $2,800

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Bopping his 29th and 30th homers of the season on Sunday, Gary Sanchez of the New York Yankees could be a chalky option at catcher tonight as he takes on Blake Snell of the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2017, Snell has allowed 1.34 homers per nine innings pitched to right-handed batters, including a 32.9% hard-hit rate and 39.5% fly-ball rate.

Travis d'Arnaud, who is sporting only a .239 batting average, is probably an option that not many will consider at catcher.

Why You Should Use Him:

It seems like everyone on the New York Mets is hurt, but their backstop is healthy, and he could be primed for a big evening.

D'Arnaud and crew face Jose Quintana, who's struggled a bit as a member of the Chicago Cubs -- since getting traded, he's allowed a 33.8% hard-hit rate and 30.9% fly-ball rate, which includes eight home runs.

The Mets catcher, meanwhile, has ripped southpaws in 2017 to the tune of a 151 wRC+, 35.1% hard-hit rate, and 31.6% fly-ball rate.
