3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/15/17
Curtis Granderson, OF, New York Mets
FanDuel Price: $2,500
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
There are some stud choices on the main slate in the outfield this evening -- Mike Trout will cost a pretty penny, but against Mike Pelfrey, he may just be worth it.
Another expensive option is the red-hot Jose Bautista. He's returning home to the Rogers Centre and an opportunity to bash against Bartolo Colon, who's struggled in 2017 with a 4.62 SIERA.
Curtis Granderson of the New York Mets is not such an obvious choice. He's only hit double-digit FanDuel points once in his last five contests, and he has just a .208 wOBA in 2017.
Why You Should Use Him:
The Mets head to Chase Field Monday evening, and it's been quite the welcoming environment for offense. Over the last three seasons, it ranks third in park factor, and their 4.63 implied team total is one of the highest on the slate.
Zack Godley takes the pill for the Diamondbacks and will hope to not struggle as much against left-handed bats as he did last year (.376 wOBA and .519 slugging percentage).
Godley's been strong in his first two starts, having thrown 12 innings while posting a 2.93 SIERA and a 26.7% strikeout rate. However, considering what we've seen from him in the past, Granderson makes for a cheap and sneaky play with some upside.
