5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/11/16

Maikel Franco, Philadelphia Phillies

FanDuel Price: $2,800

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Matt Carpenter and Jung Ho Kang should both be popular options at third base and are likely to pull some ownership off of Maikel Franco.

Why You Should Use Him:

Franco appears to be breaking out of his slump with two homers in his past four games, highlighted by a three-for-four performance last night.

Similar to Herrera, Franco should benefit from a matchup with the vulnerable Jhoulys Chacin. Franco has actually hit better against right-handers in his career, posting an improved wOBA, slugging percentage, and hard-hit rate. He has also struck out less often against righties.

At such a low price, Franco offers a unique amount of upside. Get him in those tournament lineups!
