3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 8/7/17
Howie Kendrick crushes southpaws and will get to take aim at one tonight. Who else makes for a solid sleeper play for Monday's MLB DFS contests?

Dylan Bundy, SP, Baltimore Orioles

FanDuel Price: $7,600

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

It's a tiny slate, but it's big on strong pitching options. Max Scherzer returns from a neck injury, and Jake Arrieta, Ervin Santana and Carlos Martinez all take the bump and should see high ownership numbers.

Dylan Bundy, who's been a bit up-and-down this year and has logged a 4.89 SIERA, should be a low-owned option.

Why You Should Use Him:

While Bundy has been hit-or-miss, two of his last three starts provided some optimism that he may be turning a corner.

Blown out by the Houston Astros two turns ago, Bundy sandwiched that poor outing with gems against the Kansas City Royals and the Texas Rangers, two solid offensive clubs.

And it's that swinging-strike rate that's been most impressive. In each of his last three turns, Bundy's posted a whiff rate of at least 9.7%. In fact, he's surpassed double digits in this category eight times in his last 10 starts.

Factor in an Los Angeles Angels opponent that ranks 28th in team wOBA (.304), Bundy makes for a very intriguing option to save some money on the mound.
