4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/8/17
Derek Dietrich, 3B, Miami Marlins
FanDuel Price: $3,100
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
With 12 RBI over his last five games, Manny Machado seems to be finally hitting his stride. He's likely to be heavily owned with a matchup against rookie hurler Parker Bridwell.
Since he's only hitting .225 against right-handed pitching this season, Derek Dietrich of the Miami Marlins will probably get ignored by many for the most part.
Why You Should Use Him:
The Marlins rank sixth in team wOBA (.343) over the past two weeks, and Washington Nationals starter A.J. Cole -- who's allowed a .380 wOBA, 35.1% hard-hit rate, and 51.5% fly-ball rate to lefties in his career -- could be in for a long night.
Dietrich has posted a .155 ISO this year, which gets a slight bump up to .161 when he's facing right-handers away from Marlins Park. He'll also be getting a positive shift in park factor (Marlins Park ranks 21st over the last three seasons, while Nationals Park ranks 12th), and Dietrich makes for a solid play.
