3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 9/7/17
Yangervis Solarte, 2B, San Diego Padres
FanDuel Price: $2,400
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Brian Dozier appears to love the second half of seasons, and he's at it again in 2017. He ripped another long ball last night, giving him three dingers in his past five games. Facing Sam Gaviglio tonight in Kansas City, he's likely to be a popular play up the middle.
With a matchup in pitcher-friendly Petco Park against Lance Lynn, who's recorded a 2.99 ERA this season, Yangervis Solarte could slide under the radar a bit.
Why You Should Use Him:
August was not kind to the San Diego Padres middle infielder, as he recorded a wRC+ of only 74 in 106 plate appearances. But tonight's matchup against Lynn could get him back on track.
Lynn has been fantastic this year, but he has struggled with left-handed hitters, allowing a .349 wOBA, 31.9% hard-hit rate, and 39.6% fly-ball rate in this situation. That also includes 1.87 home runs allowed per nine innings pitched.
Far better as a left-handed batter this season (117 wRC+ versus 40 as a righty), Solarte could be in line for a big night against Lynn.
