4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/2/17
Yasmani Grandal, C, Los Angeles Dodgers
FanDuel Price: $2,900
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
In the midst of a tough year, the San Francisco Giants haven't had a lot of bright spots, but Buster Posey is enjoying another fine season with a .390 wOBA. He will likely be a chalky option at catcher facing Oakland Athletics starter Daniel Gossett, who's logged a 5.74 ERA this season.
In the midst of a bit of an up-and-down campaign, Yasmani Grandal, who only has one extra-base hit in his last eight games, will probably see low ownership levels.
Why You Should Use Him:
The Los Angeles Dodgers backstop may not be tearing the cover off the ball lately, but Grandal could be in line for a big evening.
The Dodgers traveled to the southeast to face the Atlanta Braves, and their new stadium has been a house of horrors for Julio Teheran.
In 52 1/3 home innings pitched, Teheran has posted a 7.05 ERA, and allowed an .877 OPS, plus lefties have been particularly destructive. They've ripped Teheran in his home park for a .415 wOBA, a 40.0% hard-hit rate and a 37.0% fly-ball rate.
Check out Grandal at the catcher spot, which can be a tough one to fill.
