4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 9/29/16
Marcus Stroman, P, Toronto Blue Jays
FanDuel Price: $7,700
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
With ace Johnny Cueto returning for the Wild Card chase and Danny Duffy in a great spot, Marcus Stroman may go overlooked. His 9-9 record, 4.39 ERA and modest salary should help him see low ownership. Also, he's facing the powerful Baltimore Orioles.
Why You Should Use Him:
Stroman has been in beast mode in the second half of 2016. For starters, his strikeout rate has jumped a whopping 7.1% -- up to 24% -- and he's cut his walk rate down to only 5.7%.
That has led to a sparkling 2.88 xFIP over the second half of 2016. Regardless of the ERA and record, Stroman is one of the best in the game.
He'll face the strikeout happy Orioles, who have the 9th-highest strikeout rate in the league at 21.6%. With Batlimore sporting an implied total of 3.98 runs, Stroman makes for a great play.
