4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 7/29/16
Jose Quintana, P, Chicago White Sox
FanDuel Price: $9,100
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Among the top options, Max Scherzer and Steven Matz will likely be the most popular plays, while Vincent Velasquez should get some attention in an appealing matchup against Atlanta. As a result, Jose Quintana should see low ownership.
Why You Should Use Him:
After a bit of a rough stretch, Quintana has turned things around, holding his opponent to one or fewer runs in three of his past four starts and lowering his season ERA to 2.97.
He'll look to continue his success in tonight's advantageous matchup against the Minnesota Twins. On the year, the Twins rank 20th in wOBA against left-handed pitching, while their 22.8 percent strikeout rate ranks 11th. In three previous meetings with Minnesota this season, Quintana has accumulated a 2.70 ERA.
Quintana doesn't have the upside of Scherzer, but his combination of a high floor and discounted ownership make him worth a look as a pivot in tournaments in case the higher-owned pitching options falter.
