3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/21/17
Curtis Granderson, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers
FanDuel Price: $3,100
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Eddie Rosario has been absolutely on fire for the Minnesota Twins lately -- over his last 14 games, he's posted 9.0-plus FanDuel points 12 times, providing a very high floor for rosters. Facing Carson Fulmer, who's struggled this season in Triple-A, Rosario is sure to be a hot commodity.
Hitting only .226 this season, low for even his standards, Curtis Granderson of the Los Angeles Dodgers could get overlooked.
Why You Should Use Him:
Even though he will have a tough matchup with ace Gerrit Cole of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Grandy will have a few things working in his favor.
Cole has had a hard time with lefties this year, who've ripped him for a .345 wOBA. That inflated mark highlights a 37.7% hard-hit rate and a 36.5% fly-ball rate, which has enabled him to allow 2.00 homers per nine innings in this particular situation.
One of the things Granderson brings to his fourth big league team is plenty of pop against righties. He's lit them up for a .278 ISO so far this season, which includes 16 of his 20 homers.
