3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/20/17
Denard Span, OF, San Francisco Giants
FanDuel Price: $3,100
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
In the midst of a 10-game winning streak, the Los Angeles Dodgers are hotter than a St. Louis summer (today's forecasted high: 104), and Chris Taylor has been a monster part of that equation. Taylor's posted a .396 wOBA this year and 12-plus FanDuel points in each of his last four contests.
With only a .236 batting average since July 1st, Denard Span of the San Francisco Giants probably won't be a popular outfield choice.
Why You Should Use Him:
Span certainly hasn't been hot as of late, but he has enjoyed a nice year against right-handed pitching. In 224 plate appearances, he's posted an .838 OPS and a 122 wRC+.
Span's opponent, Jhoulys Chacin, has been absolutely dreadful away from PetCo Park. In 43.0 road innings pitched, Chacin's recorded a 7.95 ERA, allowed a .399 wOBA, and a 33.1% hard-hit rate.
On the road versus lefties, Chacin's gotten hit even harder -- he's allowed a 41.3% hard-hit rate.
Chacin could be just what Span needs in order to get on the right track.
