4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/5/16
Third base is loaded tonight, which should keep Kyle Seager underowned. Who else will fly under-the-radar?

Kyle Seager, 3B, Seattle Mariners

FanDuel Price: $3,700

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Kyle Seager is often overlooked, and tonight shouldn't be any different with the plethora of viable third base plays. Josh Donaldson and Nolan Arenado are both in good spots among top end options, while Jake Lamb is a terrific value play. Seager will likely see very low ownership amid the available third basemen.

Why You Should Use Him:

The Mariners make for an interesting stacking option tonight, as they could certainly put up a large run total against Tim Lincecum. If looking for a stand-alone option, there likely isn't a better one than Seager. Lincecum's ERA sits at 8.49 this season, after giving up at least three runs in seven consecutive starts.

Seager has absolutely demolished right-handed pitching this season, posting a .599 slugging percentage, .418 wOBA, and 39.6 percent hard-hit rate.

If the Mariners pile up the runs against Lincecum, Seager will likely be a big part of it while hitting in the heart of the order. He is a viable play in all formats and should see very low ownership with all the other third base options.
