5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Hitters for 7/20/16
Jonathan Lucroy, C, Milwaukee Brewers
FanDuel Price: $3,300
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Sandy Leon and Brian McCann will likely be the most popular options at catcher, while Jonathan Lucroy will fly under the radar given Milwaukee's implied 3.9 run total -- the third-lowest mark on the slate.
Why You Should Use Him:
Lucroy has hit safely in every game following the All-Star Break, including belting his 12th homer of the year four days ago. He'll look to stay hot in an advantageous matchup against Jeff Locke.
Locke has a 5.26 ERA on the year but has really struggled recently -- posting a 7.76 ERA over his past six starts. He has actually allowed lefties to hit him better historically, but this season has a higher xFIP (5.06) against right-handers.
Lucroy has posted better numbers against lefties in his career and is in line for a productive night against Locke. Give him a look in tournaments tonight.
