3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 9/20/17
Steven Brault, SP, Pittsburgh Pirates
FanDuel Price: $6,600
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Today's slate may be a bit smaller than yesterday's, but there are still a pile of fantastic pitching options to consider, including Chris Sale, Robbie Ray, Luke Weaver, Jon Lester, and Alex Wood, who are all priced above $9,000 and should see the majority of ownership.
Young lefty Steven Brault, who will be making only his third big league start of 2017, is likely to go overlooked.
Why You Should Use Him:
Despite being a far cheaper option than the aforementioned arms, Brault could be in line for just as strong of an evening.
In his last turn out -- playing the same opponent he'll face tonight, the Milwaukee Brewers -- Brault fired six scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and striking out six.
In peering into the advanced numbers of that outing, a healthy 13.0% swinging-strike rate stands out, and the Brewers are no strangers to whiffing. Over the last two weeks, they have recorded a 24.4% strikeout rate.
