4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 6/14/17
Ian Happ, 2B, Chicago Cubs
FanDuel Price: $2,800
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Facing Julio Teheran of the Atlanta Braves, who's allowed a .390 wOBA to left-handed batters this year, Daniel Murphy of the Washington Nationals is sure to be a chalky play second base.
Posting a strikeout rate of 41.7% in the month of June, Ian Happ of the Chicago Cubs may be off the radar. He shouldn't be.
Why You Should Use Him:
Despite that high strikeout rate, there are some reasons to take a long look at Happ.
So far in June, Happ's posted an impressive .376 wOBA, including a .918 OPS. He also smacks righties around, compiling a .366 wOBA.
The New York Mets starter, Matt Harvey, has fared poorly this year against lefties, racking up a 5.84 xFIP, including a 34.4% hard-hit rate and 39.4% fly-ball rate.
If he can cut down on the strikeouts and make some contact, Happ could be in line for a big evening.
