4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/11/17
Jed Lowrie, 2B, Oakland Athletics
FanDuel Price: $2,900
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
After popping three homers in his last five games, and a looming matchup with struggling starter Anibal Sanchez, Brian Dozier of the Minnesota Twins is likely to be a popular play at second.
After struggling through a rough July where he batted only .220, Jed Lowrie could be ignored.
Why You Should Use Him:
Lowrie really struggled last month, but August seems to have rejuvenated the Oakland Athletics second-sacker.
In August, Lowrie is backing to ripping the ball, as he's now hitting .303 this month with a 45.5% hard-hit rate and a 36.4% fly-ball rate.
The story just gets better, with Ubaldo Jimenez grabbing the pill for the Baltimore Orioles, who's getting murdered by lefties. They are ripping Ubaldo to the tune of a .403 wOBA and 2.68 home runs per nine innings.
Check out Lowrie tonight as a nice second base pivot option.
