4 Under-the-Radar FanDuel MLB Plays for 8/22/16
Gerardo Parra, OF, Colorado Rockies
FanDuel Price: $3,200
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Gerardo Parra and the Colorado Rockies travel to Miller Park to take on Jimmy Nelson. While Nelson has been rough as of late with a 4.66 xFIP in the second half, Parra might not be part of many Rockies stacks.
Why You Should Use Him:
Nelson has often struggled against lefties. Pick the stat, and he is amongst the worst in the league: 5.35 xFIP, .441 slugging, and .345 wOBA.
Parra played part of both 2014 and 2015 in Miller Park, and from 2013 to 2015, he enjoyed the hitter's park to the tune of an .820 OPS. So far in 2016, Miller Park ranks sixth in the league for home runs.
Parra will give you relatively cheap exposure to the Rockies lineup in a game featuring an over/under of nine runs scored.
