3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/27/17
Derek Dietrich, 3B, Miami Marlins
FanDuel Price: $2,200
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Facing Mike Pelfrey and his 5.46 SIERA in hitter-friendly Guaranteed Rate Park, which ranks ninth in home run factor over the last three years, Kris Bryant could be a very chalky play at the hot corner.
Despite erupting for 22 runs last night, the Miami Marlins return home to their pitcher-friendly park, which checks in at 21st in park factor and 29th in home run factor over the last three seasons. Derek Dietrich, who's seen sporadic playing time this year, is likely to be ignored.
Why You Should Use Him:
Despite the park he'll be playing in on Thursday, Dietrich is an attractive option because of who will be taking the mound for the Cincinnati Reds.
Robert Stephenson, simply put, has been really bad at the major league level. He posted a 6.08 ERA through eight starts last year, and it hasn't gotten any better in 2017 (8.10 ERA in 30 innings pitched).
Stephenson is also allowing a lot of hard contact, and lefties in particular have been crushing him -- they've logged a ridiculous 59.4% hard-hit rate and 35.5% fly-ball rate through 55 plate appearances.
