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?

Miguel Cabrera, 1B, Detroit Tigers

FanDuel Price: $3,700

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

As always on full slates, first base is loaded today. Anthony Rizzo, David Ortiz, Joey Votto, and Edwin Encarnacion are all in good spots, meaning Miguel Cabrera will likely fly under-the-radar.

Why You Should Use Him:

Cabrera and the Tigers are projected for five runs tonight against Jacob Turner, which is the fifth-highest mark on the slate. Considering Turner's career 5.14 ERA, that projection definitely seems fair.

Turner, a righty, has been hit harder by lefties in his career, but his career 4.16 xFIP against right-handers is nothing to sneeze at. Turner also has given up a higher hard-hit rate to right-handers, with a career 35.4 percent hard-hit rate against him.

Cabrera, a righty, has nearly identical splits throughout his career, but has slightly better power numbers against right-handers.

If Detroit is able to get to Turner early, Cabrera could definitely be a big part of the fireworks. Cabrera has similar upside to the first basemen mentioned previously, but will come much cheaper and lower-owned. Give him serious consideration while making your tournament lineups.
