4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 6/20/17
Jedd Gyorko, 3B, St. Louis Cardinals
FanDuel Price: $2,800
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
That exploding sound you here is probably another rip from Justin Turner. Struggling for a large portion of the year, he's been heating up as of late, posting double-digit FanDuel points in four of his last five games, including homers in back-to-back outings.
The ice-cold Jedd Gyorko, who has only recorded four hits in his last 31 at-bats, is sure to be ignored by most players tonight.
Why You Should Use Him:
June has not been the kindest month for Gyorko. In looking at his June numbers, Gyorko's .241 batting average, .268 wOBA, and .086 ISO are all his lowest monthly totals.
But tonight's matchup against Jeremy Hellickson may be just what the doctor ordered. Hellickson has been getting beaten up by same-sided hitters this year to the tune of a .368 wOBA, including a whopping .547 slugging percentage.
Gyorko has been better against righties. So far this year, he's posted a 118 wRC+ versus right-handed hurlers, compared to a still-strong mark of 108 against lefties.
If you need a cheaper option at third base but still want to get a piece of some upside, check out Gyorko.
