4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/28/17
Craig Gentry, OF, Baltimore Orioles
FanDuel Price: $2,400
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
If you can afford the hefty $4,600 price tag, Justin Upton of the Detroit Tigers is likely to be a prime target for many players. He travels to Coors Field to face Antonio Senzatela, and in 2017, Upton has mashed same-sided righties to the tune of a 46.8% hard-hit rate and 43.0% fly-ball rate.
Spending some time down in the minors this season, and logging only a .298 wOBA on the 2017 season, Craig Gentry of the Baltimore Orioles is probably going to be a bit overlooked tonight.
Why You Should Use Him:
Gentry's recorded only 92 plate appearances this year, and prior to the All-Star break, they weren't all that memorable. In 68 first-half appearances, Gentry hit only .175, and was subsequently shipped to the minors.
The second half, however, has been a different story. Gentry's made us forget all of those struggles, recording a 145 wRC+ and a 35.7% hard-hit rate.
Combine all of that hot play with a .667 slugging percentage allowed to right-handed bats by Seattle Mariners starter Marco Gonzales, and Gentry could make for a very sneaky outfield starter.
