5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/9/16

Rougned Odor, 2B, Texas Rangers

FanDuel Price: $4,100

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Rougned Odor has played well recently, but it is likely to be Brandon Phillips for $1,000 less who is the chalk at second base today. People are going to try to fit in the expensive pitchers, and it's very hard to do so while paying more than $4,000 for Odor.

Why You Should Use Him:

After a slow start to the season, Odor has looked like the hitter we all thought he would be. Since April 26, Odor has a .385 batting average, along with a .480 wOBA, .327 ISO, and .712 slugging percentage.

He's also benefited greatly from his move to the top of the order, hitting .344 and scoring 11 runs in 14 games as the leadoff hitter.

Speaking of scoring runs, Odor will have plenty of opportunity to do so in tonight's matchup against right-hander Miguel Gonzalez. Vegas has the Rangers scoring 4.8 runs against Gonzalez, and Odor should be a big part of that while hitting leadoff.

Odor, a lefty, has hit righties much better throughout his career, raising his wOBA, slugging percentage, ISO, hard-hit rate, and walk rate, while lowering his strikeout rate from his numbers against left-handed pitching.

This matchup is as good as you're going to get, yet you can get Odor at low ownership. He is one of the best tournament plays of the day.
