5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Hitters for 6/2/16
Carlos Santana is a very appealing play with the way Yordano Ventura has been struggling, but he may go overlooked among all the first base options.

Brad Miller, SS, Tampa Bay Rays

FanDuel Price: $3,100

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Brad Miller is rarely popular, which won't change tonight. Xander Bogaerts has a favorable matchup against Ubaldo Jimenez, while Trevor Story and Zack Cozart will be battling it out at Coors Field. Jonathan Villar is way too cheap considering his recent production, and he faces Jerad Eickhoff, who can't figure out left-handed batters. It seems very unlikely Miller is a hot commodity on tonight's shortstop market.

Why You Should Use Him:

Miller has as severe of splits out there as anyone, posting terrific numbers against right-handed pitching throughout his career. This season has been no different, as he has raised his 21.1 percent hard-hit rate against lefties to a much more impressive 35.8 percent against righties.

His skills against righties may make for a not-so-fun return from injury for righty Kyle Gibson. Gibson has struggled to put away lefties throughout his career, including Miller, who has hit safely in 5-of-11 career at bats against him.

Vegas doesn't see this one ending well for Gibson, penciling the Rays in for 4.4 runs. As long as he's still hitting near the top of the order, Miller should be a big part of reaching that total. Give him a look in tourneys.
