3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/19/17
Chris Owings, SS, Arizona Diamondbacks
FanDuel Price: $2,900
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Kevin Gausman of the Baltimore Orioles has really struggled this season, posting a 6.39 ERA, and the Texas Rangers are sure to be highly owned in a date with him. Elvis Andrus, who has already bopped a career-high 11 homers, is likely to be a popular play at shortstop as people flock to Texas.
Primarily a starter but losing some playing time lately to Ketel Marte and Brandon Drury, Chris Owings could go under-owned in contests tonight.
Why You Should Use Him:
Getting his first full-time action, Owings has been a strong performer this season, even if his $2,900 price point doesn't indicate it. Owings has posted a .349 wOBA this season, and coming out of the All-Star break, he's continued his hot play, logging double-digit FanDuel points in two of his four starts.
He'll look to continue that good run tonight against Tim Adleman. The Cincinnati Reds' righty has allowed a .353 wOBA, 38.2% hard-hit rate and 40.0% fly-ball rate to right-handed hitters.
At a sub-$3,000 price point, Owings makes for a very attractive play.
