3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 4/2/18

Charlie Blackmon, OF, Colorado Rockies

FanDuel Price: $4,500

We don't target the Colorado Rockies that often when they're on the road, and Petco Park certainly doesn't lend itself to DFS points.

But the Rockies are up against a low-strikeout pitcher in Bryan Mitchell, who had a lackluster 11.1% strikeout rate last season and has a career 14.3% rate. Similar to Triggs, he's got the career ground-ball rate (51.5%) and hard-hit rate (23.0%) to turn this into a snoozefest, but when the strikeouts are that few and far between, good things can come for the opposing offense.

Between Petco Park, the West Coast start time, and road-tripping Rockies, few will probably be looking to spend up for Charlie Blackmon. Obviously much of his value comes from Coors Field, but he's no slouch on the road, posting a .363 wOBA and .235 ISO against right-handed pitching away from home over the last three years. Blackmon already has three dingers to his name, and if the Rockies can get to Mitchell, you could have a nice low-owned gem on your hands.
