4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 6/16/17
Manny Pina, C, Milwaukee Brewers
FanDuel Price: $2,300
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Buster Posey enjoyed his return to Coors Field, belting a double and a bomb on his way to a 31.2-FanDuel point day. He's likely to be another solid play in Denver this evening.
Stuck in a platoon role, and facing a same-sided pitcher, Manny Pina isn't likely to be the first choice of many players.
Why You Should Use Him:
The Brew Crew will face Miguel Diaz, who's been stretched out in a starting role as of late.
Overall, it's been of a rough go for Diaz. He's fired 26 innings and notched a 5.39 SIERA, and that brutal SIERA is built primarily on a 31.7% hard-hit rate and a 39.0% fly-ball rate.
While he's in a platoon with Jett Bandy, Pina seems to have swiped the edge in playing-time against same-sided righties.
Over 91 plate appearances against, Pina's posted a 99 wRC+ and a healthy .157 ISO, both of which are superior to Bandy's marks (57 and .140, respectively).
