5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 5/10/16
Matt Wisler, P, Atlanta Braves
FanDuel Price: $6,000
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Jon Lester has been incredible to start the season and draws a dream matchup against the inept Padres. He is likely to be the chalk at pitcher, leaving all other options with ownership lower than they should have.
Why You Should Use Him:
Matt Wisler hasn't been missing many bats, but he has posted a respectable 3.24 ERA (but a 4.45 SIERA) through six appearances. He's coming off of an eight-inning shutout of the Mets, in which he allowed just one hit and piled up 48 FanDuel points.
He has an excellent opportunity to continue to post strong numbers tonight against Philadelphia. The Phillies have struggled against right-handers for two years now, ranking 28th in wOBA against righties this season after finishing dead last in that category last season.
Vegas sees Wisler and the Braves limiting the Phillies to 3.4 runs, which is the fourth-lowest on the slate. That's very encouraging, considering Wisler is the 25th-most expensive pitcher on the slate.
He doesn't have elite strikeout potential, but he offers considerable savings -- leaving you with an average of $3,625 to spend per player, which allows you to attack the Coors Field game aggressively.
