The San Francisco Giants will look to avoid a sweep in the finale of their divisional bout against the Diamondbacks. After a heartbreaking walk-off loss, the Giants will have Justin Verlander on the mound against Brandon Pfaadt.
Here is who to target from the Giants offense in daily fantasy:
Shortstop Willy Adames ($4,300):
Adames has not been in form this series; however, he gets a favorable matchup on Wednesday. Against Pfaadt, Adames has notched four hits, one home-run, five runs batted in, while drawing two walks in just seven at-bats. For Wednesday's afternoon slate, with limited options, Adames should be able to deliver for daily fantasy players.
Outfielder Heliot Ramos ($4,000):
Earlier this season, with Pfaadt on the mound, Ramos had a total of five at-bats, two hits, and two runs batted in. Ramos has faced Pfaadt eight times, garnering four hits and two runs batted in throughout his career. Due to his .500 batting average against the Diamondbacks' starting pitcher, he should be on daily fantasy players' radar.
First Baseman Wilmer Flores ($4,000):
It's a small sample size, but Flores has faced Pfaadt twice and managed to get a hit. On Tuesday, Flores was the star of the team, garnering two hits, one home-run, two runs batted in, two runs, in four at-bats. In the past eight games, Flores has generated seven hits, two home-runs, and six runs batted in. He should be able to carry that momentum over to Wednesday's game, especially against Pfaadt, who has a 5.31 earned run average on the season.
Outfielder Jung Hoo Lee ($3,900):
In a small slate like Wednesday's, Lee is a value pick against Pfaadt. He has faced the Diamondbacks' starting pitcher four times, accumulating two hits and one run batted in. Thus far, in the month of September, Lee has a batting average of .302, continuing the trend he started in August with a .300 batting average last month. Lee should continue his hot streak against Pfaadt after a quiet first two games of the series.
In an afternoon slate, it is critical to target value. Lee and Ramos are both value picks for Wedensday's slate, not just due to their price tag, but due to the way they have performed against Pfaadt in the past. Expect the Giants offense to be aggressive to avoid the sweep against a pitcher who is giving up over five runs per game on average.
