3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 9/13/17
Kolten Wong, 2B, St. Louis Cardinals
FanDuel Price: $3,400
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Brian Dozier is obliterating baseballs in the second half, and he did it again Tuesday night with a triple and a homer. In Dozier's last ten contests, he has recorded 18.0-plus FanDuel points five times, and will look to keep that up at home tonight.
Slumping a bit lately with only 6 hits in his last 32 at-bats, Kolten Wong of the St. Louis Cardinals should fly under the radar.
Why You Should Use Him:
Wong looks to break out of his mini-slump tonight, and facing Tyler Mahle could be the perfect remedy. The Cards second baseman has shown a keen batting eye (9.9% walk rate) this season, and the Cincinnati Reds hurler has shown struggles with his command.
In 2017, Mahle has walked 11.6% of hitters over 15 major league innings, and a big reason why is his 59.4% first-pitch strike percentage, a number that ranks him 50th out of 66 qualified starting pitchers. Over that small sample size, lefties have smoked Mahle for a 35.3% hard-hit rate and 31.3% fly-ball rate.
