4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 9/9/16
George Springer, OF, Houston Astros
FanDuel Price: $3,900
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Facing Jon Lester of the Cubs, the Astros sport a paltry implied team total of 3.54 runs. Lester has been fantastic as of late, with a 29.4% strikeout rate over 31 2/3 August innings.
Why You Should Use Him:
George Springer enjoys the platoon advantage against left-handed pitching, with a .964 OPS and .283 ISO.
While the sample size is small, in his last 35 plate appearances, Springer has been even hotter, sporting a .976 OPS.
Hitting against the Cubs second ace with such a low implied team total, Springer should be an afterthought for most DFS lineups.
