4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 9/22/16
Jarrod Dyson has a great matchup against Mike Clevinger and the Indians on Thursday. Who else is a sneaky play?

Ricky Nolasco, P, Los Angeles Angels

FanDuel Price: $6,700

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

In a reduced slate, there are limited options available. With studs David Price and Justin Verlander taking the mound and Seth Lugo a heavy favorite at -205 on the moneyline, Ricky Nolasco and his pedestrian 17.7% strikeout rate is sure to be ignored.

Why You Should Use Him:

Nolasco has been quietly impressive in September, sporting a 3.32 ERA and .249 wOBA allowed.

Nolasco has also put up two 50-plus-point outings in his last four starts, and while he doesn't strike out a ton of batters, the Houston Astros strike out at the fourth-highest rate in Major League Baseball (23.6%).

Over the last 14 days, the Astros have been pretty mediocre on offense, ranking 24th in league with a .286 wOBA. All of this leads to a sneaky matchup for Nolasco.
