4 Under-the-Radar FanDuel MLB Plays for 8/18/16
Wilson Ramos, C, Washington Nationals
FanDuel Price: $3,300
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Catcher is a position some DFS players tend to punt. There are just a few really good options, which are costly, while there are several cheap plays. Wilson Ramos, as shown by the price above, is not cheap. In addition, the Atlanta Braves starter for the evening, Rob Whalen, has shown well in a small sample, meaning people may shy away from the Washington Nationals.
Why You Should Use Him:
Whalen has pitched just 16 innings in the bigs, and his 24.3% strikeout rate is very promising. He has, however, allowed right-handers to post a 44.4% fly-ball rate, giving Ramos a shot to do some damage.
Ramos has been on fire as of late. In August, Ramos is sporting a .277 ISO with a .929 OPS. He is an elite option at the catcher spot, and there's a chance he doesn't have much ownership tonight.
