3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 9/28/17
Evan Gattis has been hammering the ball lately and has another solid matchup tonight. Who else could make for a strong sleeper play on Thursday for MLB DFS?

Delino Deshields Jr., OF, Texas Rangers

FanDuel Price: $3,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Khris Davis has been white-hot lately and he should be popular thanks to facing another righty tonight in Miguel Gonzalez. Davis has now tied a single-season career high with 42 home runs off the strength of hitting three in his last five games.

Posting double-digit FanDuel points just once in his last six games, Delino DeShields Jr. could see low ownership in the outfield.

Why You Should Use Him:

DeShields gets the benefit of facing struggling lefty Sean Manaea, who has endured a tough 2017. He's posted a 4.51 SIERA over 152 innings pitched and right-handed hitters have given him fits -- they have rocked him for a .351 wOBA, 36.9% hard-hit rate, and 36.7% fly-ball rate.

DeShields, meanwhile, has enjoyed the platoon advantage, posting a 102 wRC+ in this situation with a 25.0% hard-hit rate and 40.6% fly-ball rate.
