3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 4/27/17
Ryon Healy, 1B, Oakland Athletics
FanDuel Price: $3,400
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
The matchup in Chase Field showcases two $4,000-plus first basemen in Paul Goldschmidt and Wil Myers. In a condensed slate with a pile of runs expected, those two should garner a ton of attention.
However, Ryon Healy probably won't get the same level of attention since his home park ranks third-worst in home run factor over the last three seasons, and the Oakland Athletics currently spot an implied team total of 3.93 runs.
Why You Should Use Him:
Despite an 0-for-5 performance in an Oakland win on Wednesday, Healy has been on an absolute tear recently. While batting third, he's collected 10 hits in his last 27 at-bats, which is good for a .390 wOBA and a 161 wRC+
Thursday provides an opportunity to further add to those eye-popping totals, facing off against Los Angeles Angels starter Ricky Nolasco. Nolasco's batted-ball profile signals disaster -- he's allowed a 34.2% hard-hit rate and a 49.3% fly-ball rate this year.
Since the start of 2016, same-sided bats have been a pain in Nolasco's side. Left-handers have only logged a .309 wOBA against him, but righties have gotten to him for a .336 wOBA, including a mark of .433 so far in 2017.
With solid recent play, a great spot in the order and a tasty matchup, he's got a lot to offer on this small slate.
