3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/27/17
Luke Weaver, SP, St. Louis Cardinals
FanDuel Price: $5,900
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
In a small slate, the expensive dudes seem to garner most of the attention, and that should be no different tonight. Jon Lester and Chris Archer toe the slab on the main slate, which largely devoid of strong options, so they should be popular picks.
Making his first big league start of the season, Luke Weaver of the St. Louis Cardinals is likely to be a low-owned option.
Why You Should Use Him:
Ignore Weaver at your own risk -- he's the next prospect in the Cardinals' pipeline that could be set to explode.
He made landfall in the majors last year and didn't disappoint in his eight starts. Over those 36 1/3 total innings pitched, Weaver posted a 3.55 SIERA with a very respectable 9.8% swinging-strike rate.
He also continued to dominate in Triple-A this season, going 9-1 with a 1.91 ERA and a 27.3% strikeout rate in 13 starts.
The Arizona Diamondbacks will present a stiff challenge, but keep in mind that this squad changes significantly when they're away from Chase Field. The Snakes rank 25th in team wOBA and are striking out 24.4% of the time on the road this season.
