5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Hitters for 6/13/16
Tommy Joseph, 1B, Philadelphia Phillies
FanDuel Price: $2,800
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Similar to Pujols, Tommy Joseph will go overlooked with all the first-base depth. With Philadelphia projected for just 3.9 runs, it seems very unlikely that he is a popular option.
Why You Should Use Him:
Joseph has posted surprisingly impressive numbers for Philadelphia this season, which has seemingly been swept under the rug with Philadelphia's overall offensive struggles. Through 23 games, the power-hitting rookie has a .301 batting average along with a .616 slugging percentage and .315 isolated slugging. The power is real. His 7 homers in 77 plate appearances are buoyed by a 44.4 percent hard-hit rate and 46.3 percent fly-ball rate.
It's obviously a small sample size, but five of his seven dingers have come against righties this season, and he has posted a 50 percent hard-hit rate against right-handers. He shouldn't struggle in tonight's righty-righty matchup.
Look for Joseph to continue his torrid pace while hitting cleanup against Dickey. At his low price and ownership, he makes one of the most interesting tournament plays on the board.
