5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Hitters for 6/16/16
Trevor Plouffe is almost always underowned, and tonight should be no different in a plus matchup.

Corey Seager, SS, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $3,600

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts will be popular plays as they face off in the game with the highest over/under, which should leave Corey Seager underowned.

Why You Should Use Him:

Seager has been a bit volatile this season on a day to day basis, which makes him an interesting tournament play when he has an advantageous matchup. Today's lefty-righty matchup with Junior Guerra seems to qualify as just that.

Guerra has posted an impressive 3.31 ERA this season, but his 4.36 SIERA suggests that he is a pretty pedestrian talent. He has struggled against lefties in his career, too, as his xFIP jumps from 3.88 against righties to 4.72 against lefties. Seager has posted improved numbers across the board against right-handed pitching and should have his way with Guerra tonight.

Seager's hit or miss play thus far in his young career probably eliminates him from cash game consideration, but his elite power for a shortstop makes him an excellent tournament play, especially when you can get him at low ownership like tonight. Seager has three multi-homer games already this season, which perfectly exemplifies his immense upside.
