4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/5/17
Jesus Aguilar, 1B, Milwaukee Brewers
FanDuel Price: $2,100
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Mark Reynolds' 2017 home batting marks against right-handed pitching almost read like a typo. At Coors, Reynolds has posted a .361 batting average, an 1.153 OPS, and a 37.7% hard-hit rate against righties. He's sure to be a popular play.
Often sitting this season against right-handed pitching, Jesus Aguilar of the Milwaukee Brewers is an oft-ignored option, but is likely to see the field tonight against a southpaw.
Why You Should Use Him:
Despite only seeing 172 plate appearances this year, Aguilar is not an option to sleep on, as his .245 ISO mark would indicate.
The Brew Crew face Jayson Aquino, who's struggled a bit in a small sample size this year at the majors. In three appearances, including one start, he's posted identical strikeout and walk rates (15.0%), and he's allowed a home run in each of those appearances.
For Aguilar, those batting numbers get even nastier when facing a lefty at Miller Park. At home this season against lefties, he's sporting a .917 OPS and a .375 batting average.
For such a cheap price point, Aguilar makes for a great pivot option at first base.
