4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/26/17
Gregor Blanco, OF, Arizona Diamondbacks
FanDuel Price: $2,300
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
It's rare that a Coors Field outfielder is under $4,000, but thanks to a slow start, Carlos Gonzalez sits at $3,900 for tonight's contest. He's likely to be a popular play, too -- over the last seven days, he's logged the league's 10th-best wOBA (.522).
Forced into some heavier playing time due to A.J. Pollock's current disabled list stint, Gregor Blanco of the Arizona Diamondbacks isn't likely to be very popular with his .098 ISO over 44 plate appearances.
Why You Should Use Him:
Blanco has been hitting out of the leadoff spot against right-handed pitching, and he'll face another righty tonight in Milwaukee Brewers starter Junior Guerra.
Guerra is essentially making his 2017 debut (he threw three innings before hitting the DL), but in 2016, lefties hit the ball hard against him, logging a 38.9% hard-hit rate.
Blanco gets a major park factor boost by playing in Miller Park, which has ranked third in home run factor over the last three seasons.
And the news is even better for lefties at Milwaukee's home digs -- in looking at Baseball Prospectus park factor by handedness, Miller Park ranked as the third-best stadium in all of baseball in home run factor in 2016.
