4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 6/7/17
Avisail Garcia, OF, Chicago White Sox
FanDuel Price: $2,700
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Despite losing their last five contests, the St. Louis Cardinals have one of the highest implied team totals of the day of 5.02 runs as they face off with Bronson Arroyo. Outfielders like Stephen Piscotty and Dexter Fowler are sure to be favorites tonight.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, the Chicago White Sox have one of the lowest implied team totals at 3.84 runs and are more than likely not to be a super popular option, including Avisail Garcia.
Why You Should Use Him:
Garcia owns a sterling .392 wOBA on the year, and has registered double-digit FanDuel points in three of his last five starts. And with the Tampa Bay Rays sending Jacob Faria to the mound for his MLB debut, he has a chance to keep it going.
Garcia has done a lot of damage against left-handed pitching, but more of his power has come against right-handed pitchers -- his Isolated Power (ISO) against righties in 2017 is .225, compared to .197 against southpaws. At an affordable price, Garcia should be a nice contrarian play with a chance to put up a crooked score.
