4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/23/16
Yasmani Grandal and the red-hot Dodgers face off with Madison Bumgarner, which will likely cap their ownership.

Yasmani Grandal, C, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $3,000

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

The Los Angeles Dodgers will face stud lefty Madison Bumgarner on Tuesday and are slight underdogs (-105 money line). In addition, the Dodgers' implied total of 3.23 runs is the second-lowest of the day.

Why You Should Use Him:

The Dodgers are absolutely on fire at the moment, and over the last 14 days, they rank 6th in with a .355 wOBA.

Yasmani Grandal is quietly in the midst of a monster season as he has 21 jacks in under 300 at-bats on the year. With past injuries behind him, he's sporting a career high .252 ISO on the season.

Any time a team takes on Bumgarner, their bats aren't going to see high ownership. In this case, though, Los Angeles' red-hot form makes them a somewhat appealing contrarian option.
