5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/10/16
Dustin Pedroia is in a terrific matchup but will be overlooked with daily fantasy players focused on cheaper options.

Gregory Polanco, OF, Pittsburgh Pirates

FanDuel Price: $3,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Gregory Polanco disappointed yesterday and saw his price rise. He is sure to lose ownership to Charlie Blackmon, Carlos Gonzalez, and Bryce Harper. Even if he sees ownership above 10 percent, he's unlikely to see the type of ownership that his matchup should demand.

Why You Should Use Him:

Everything that we loved about Polanco yesterday still applies tonight. He gets an even juicier matchup against Alfredo Simon, who has a 9.86 ERA through six appearances. Simon, a righty, has allowed lefties to post improved numbers against him throughout his career.

I'll pull Polanco's splits against righties from yesterday's article in case you missed it.

Gregory Polanco wOBA SLG ISO K% BB%
Career vs L 0.233 0.275 0.092 25.5% 7.8%
Career vs R 0.333 0.418 0.142 16.1% 10.1%


The dude absolutely crushes right-handed pitching and should bounce back in tonight's game.
