4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 9/15/16
Jerad Eickhoff, P, Philadelphia Phillies
FanDuel Price: $8,000
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
With several high-priced aces like Masahiro Tanaka, Johnny Cueto, 18-game winner J.A. Happ and Rich Hill taking the mound, Jerad Eickhoff and his 10-13 record should fly under the radar on Thursday's slate.
Why You Should Use Him:
Eickhoff has put up a solid 2016 season, logging a 4.19 SIERA and 20% strikeout rate. He has been particularly effective at limiting right-handed hitters, who have only recorded a .280 wOBA against him.
The Philadelphia Phillies will face the Pittsburgh Pirates, who are 21st in wOBA against righties and rank 25th in wOBA in the second half of the season. The only negative here is the game is at Citizens Bank Park, which ranks first in home run factor. That will likely scare most people away, making Eickhoff an enticing tourney option.
