MLB
5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/22/16
Daily fantasy players will be scared off of Jon Gray at Coors Field tonight, but the numbers suggest he has exceptional upside tonight. Who else will go overlooked tonight?

Jake Lamb, 3B, Arizona Diamondbacks

FanDuel Price: $3,500

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Josh Donaldson, Nolan Arenado, and Kris Bryant are all in good spots tonight, which should deflect some of the potential ownership that Jake Lamb would get.

Why You Should Use Him:

I have a fun question for you. Who has the highest slugging percentage in the National League against right-handed pitching? Anthony Rizzo? Carlos Gonzalez? Daniel Murphy? Nope, it is Jake Lamb, who ranks second in the entire MLB with a .669 slugging percentage against righties and third with a 46.1 percent hard-hit rate.

With a matchup against a pedestrian right-hander today in a hitter's ballpark, Lamb should be firmly on your radar. Lamb's opponent today, Dan Straily, has a 4.93 SIERA on the year, along with a 6.10 xFIP against left-handed batters. In his career, Straily's xFIP has skyrocketed from 4.06 against righties to 5.43 against lefties.

With the Diamondbacks projected for 4.7 runs against Straily tonight, Lamb is an exciting play in any format, especially at his price.
