5 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 6/14/16
Tom Koehler, SP, Miami Marlins
FanDuel Price: $6,800
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Madison Bumgarner, Jacob deGrom, and Drew Pomeranz will likely be the popular options among expensive pitchers, while Taijuan Walker will probably draw some attention as a high-upside value play. As a result, Tom Koehler will likely be ignored, even in a matchup against the lowly San Diego Padres.
Why You Should Use Him:
Koehler has really turned things around after a slow start, posting a 2.89 ERA over his past seven outings. During that stretch, Koehler hasn't given up more than three runs in a single start.
He has a chance to keep the good times rolling in a matchup against San Diego at Petco Park tonight. The Padres rank dead last in wOBA against right-handed pitching this season, and their 24 percent strikeout rate ranks fourth highest
Koehler doesn't carry immense upside, but he is one of the safest plays on paper today. His bargain bin price really opens up how you can construct your lineup, too. If you feel confident in fading some of the top pitching options, give Koehler a look as a contrarian play.
