3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 8/10/18
Rafael Devers, 3B, Boston Red Sox
FanDuel Price: $3,200
After slugging a homer in his first game off the DL, Rafael Devers has seen a big price jump, but perhaps that means he'll get less attention tonight, despite the Boston Red Sox getting a 5.17 implied team total versus Dylan Bundy.
Bundy's struggles have always come from the left side, and this year is more of the same as he's allowing a .402 xwOBA and 5.16 FIP to lefty bats, with just a 19.9% strikeout rate.
Devers may not have mind-blowing numbers in 2018, but he's posting a very solid 36.6% hard-hit rate, 41.0% fly-ball rate, and .215 ISO against right-handed pitching. Given his awkward price point and low spot in the batting order, Devers is a nice way to gain exposure to this spot at lower ownership, compared to the usual suspects in the Boston lineup.
