4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 9/6/17
Ketel Marte, SS, Arizona Diamondbacks
FanDuel Price: $2,500
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
During the Indians' 13-game winning streak, Francisco Lindor has been a consistent force. He's posted 9.0-plus FanDuel points in seven of his last nine contests and is likely to be a hot commodity tonight.
Spending the majority of this season in Triple-A (338 plate appearances), Ketel Marte of the Arizona Diamondbacks may be a low-owned option up the middle on a full slate.
Why You Should Use Him:
Even though Marte hasn't been in the big leagues very long (172 plate appearances), he's made the most of his opportunity to play because of injuries to both Chris Owings and Nick Ahmed.
The switch-hitter has been stronger from the left-hand side of the plate in 2017 (99 wRC+ versus 91 as a righty), and he will face righty Kenta Maeda tonight. The Los Angeles Dodgers starter has struggled with the long ball recently -- he's allowed seven jacks over his last five starts, and 1.42 homers per nine innings pitched this year. He does generate plenty of strikeouts (24.7% strikeout rate in '17), but Marte gives us some cheap exposure to a team that's also rolling at the moment (Arizona has won 12 straight).
