3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/30/17
Parker Bridwell, SP, Los Angeles Angels
FanDuel Price: $7,000
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
As opposed to yesterday's main slate, which was chock full of great pitching options, we're picking through a field of land mines today.
Dallas Keuchel, Jose Berrios, and Robbie Ray are the expensive options likely to get a ton of run, but following them are some really tough choices.
Parker Bridwell of the Los Angeles Angels, who's only recorded a 15.4% strikeout rate this season, probably will see low ownership even though there aren't a ton of top options.
Why You Should Use Him:
Despite that low strikeout rate, Bridwell has combined that with not allowing many walks (5.3%) while managing hard contact well (33.6%) through 84 big-league innings.
The good news for the hurler is that he faces an Oakland Athletics team that's pretty mediocre offensively (20th in team wOBA at .308) and strikes out a ton (24.6%). Bridwell may not normally get a ton of whiffs, but the A's could be happy to help him out en route to a big evening.
