5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 6/1/16
Jake Lamb, 3B, Arizona Diamondbacks
FanDuel Price: $3,400
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Nolan Arenado will be a popular play after a double-dong performance yesterday, as will Anthony Rendon in a favorable matchup. As a result, Jake Lamb will likely be left overlooked.
Why You Should Use Him:
Lamb has really turned it on recently, posting a .469 wOBA, .690 slugging percentage, and 36.4 percent hard-hit rate. He'll look to stay hot tonight against righty Mike Fiers.
Fiers is a decent pitcher, but he's been roughed up a bit this season, posting a 5.20 ERA. He was chased from his last start after just 3.2 innings after giving up seven earned runs.
Lamb has hit righties much better throughout his career, posting a career 37.9 percent hard-hit rate. He has similar price adjusted upside as any of the elite third baseman on today's slate, but comes at a lower price and ownership percentage. Give him a long look in tournaments, especially if you're trying to fit in one of the elite pitching options.
