5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 6/1/16
With several elite pitchers in good matchups, Aaron Sanchez is likely to be overlooked. Who else will fly under-the-radar?

Anthony Rizzo, 1B, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $3,800

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

David Ortiz ontinues to rake and has another favorable matchup tonight. Joey Votto has homered in back to back games and gets another lefty-righty matchup at Coors tonight. With a respectable but not eye-popping 4.2 implied run total for the Cubs today, it's unlikely Anthony Rizzo is an overly popular option.

Why You Should Use Him:

Despite being third in first base scoring, Rizzo is just the 10th-most expensive first baseman on the slate. In a lefty-righty matchup against Mike Bolsinger, Rizzo should definitely be on your radar at this price tag.

Bolsinger isn't a horrible pitcher by any means, but his 4.04 SIERA in 109 innings last season show that he can be picked on if the matchup is right. Rizzo has posted much improved splits against right-handers in his career and should have no problem reaching value in tonight's matchup.
