4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 4/14/17
Joey Gallo, 3B, Texas Rangers
FanDuel Price: $2,900
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Third base is filled with great options on Friday's main slate -- Manny Machado gets to hit in the Rogers Centre, Miguel Sano looks to build on his strong start to 2017 (3 homers, 11 RBI, 10 runs scored), and Eugenio Suarez, who had double-digit FanDuel points in five straight games prior to a goose egg on Thursday, are all in great spots.
Joey Gallo, who struggled in a 2016 cup of coffee with one hit in 25 at-bats along with his well documented strikeout issues, could be pushed to the side.
Why You Should Use Him:
Gallo could be in line for an increased workload for the Texas Rangers, as Adrian Beltre appears to have suffered a setback in his return from a calf injury. The slugger is off to a hot start so far in 2017, hitting two moonshots while driving in nine runs. He's also provided the added bonus of stealing two bags already.
Safeco Field has long been considered a pitcher's park, but it has played well for power lately -- in 2016, it ranked sixth in home run factor. As mentioned earlier, King Felix is also off to a good start, but did experience issues with surrendering the long ball last season.
