5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 6/8/16
On a slate loaded with pitching options, Yu Darvish may go overlooked tonight. Who else will fly under the radar?

Stephen Vogt, C, Oakland Athletics

FanDuel Price: $3,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Brian McCann will likely be the chalk at catcher, with Jonathan Lucroy picking up the slack. As a result, Stephen Vogt should go overlooked tonight.

Why You Should Use Him:

Vogt went hitless last night, but prior to that he was on an 11-game hit streak. He also had collected five extra base hits in his last five games prior to last night. His matchup tonight should help him get back on track.

Vogt and the A's will draw right-hander Chase Anderson tonight, the owner of a 4.68 ERA. Anderson is far from the worst pitcher on today's slate, but he has very average stuff, and Vegas sees him struggling with Oakland's patient offense tonight, projecting the A's for 4.4 runs.

Vogt, the A's three-hitter, should be a big part of reaching that implied total. The left-handed catcher has crushed right-handed pitching throughout his career and is a fine option in any format tonight.
