3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 4/24/18

Matt Olson, 1B, Oakland Athletics

FanDuel Price: $2,800

Outside of Coors, the Oakland Athletics could be one of the more popular stacks, showing a 5.06 implied team total against Cole Hamels in warm Arlington, Texas.

While the usual righties at the top of the A's lineup are all fair game, also keep the left-handed Matt Olson in mind as a way to mix things up. Olson has the dreaded lefty-lefty matchup with Hamels, but he brings immense power at a sub-$3,000 price. Also, if Oakland gets things going, Hamels won't be long for the game, so it's not like you have to worry about the lefty-lefty matchup the entire game.

Olson has struggled with strikeouts, but he still holds a massive 49.0% hard-hit rate this month, and the ol' average exit velocity (93.6 miles per hour) is looking pretty good, as well. He's posted a .292 ISO in his young career, and that kind of power doesn't often come this cheap.
