4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/29/16
With people focusing on the opposing pitcher, Steven Matz, Tyler Chatwood is likely to go ignored tonight. Who are some other interesting contrarian options?

Matt Kemp, OF, San Diego Padres

FanDuel Price: $3,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Essentially everything mentioned in reference to Bruce's ownership is also applicable to Matt Kemp, except he hasn't been scorching hot like Bruce. Don't expect him to be a popular play tonight.

Why You Should Use Him:

Kemp has come out of the All-Star Break on fire, collecting a hit in every game but one, while posting a .765 slugging percentage and 40.5 percent hard-hit rate. He'll get a terrific opportunity to build on those numbers in tonight's matchup against lefty Brandon Finnegan.

Finnegan has not come close to living up to the hype following his playoff performance for the Royals in his rookie season, posting a 5.30 SIERA and a 1.44 WHIP and allowing a 37.6 percent hard-hit rate.

Kemp has upped his numbers across the board against left-handed pitching and has big-time potential against Finnegan. Give him a long look when constructing tournament lineups.
