3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 9/25/17
Yonder Alonso, 1B, Seattle Mariners
FanDuel Price: $2,200
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
He will cost a very expensive Coors Field premium, but Justin Bour ($5,300) could still find his way into a lot of lineups. Since returning from his injury, Bour has homered in four of his last five games.
Slumping badly with only a 72 wRC+ in September, Yonder Alonso may not be so popular at first base.
Why You Should Use Him:
Alonso will face Daniel Gossett of the Oakland Athletics, his old team. Gossett has recorded a 4.65 SIERA over 85 1/3 innings pitched in 2017, and he's giving up a .360 wOBA to left-handed bats.
Despite the nasty slump, Alonso's 2017 production in this split is simply too good to ignore. On the year against righties, Alonso has recorded a 43.4% hard-hit rate and 34.9% fly-ball rate, making him a cheap way to get access to some upside.
