3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 5/25/18

Jackie Bradley Jr., OF, Boston Red Sox

FanDuel Price: $2,500

Oftentimes, when the Rockies have a strong matchup at home, like they do tonight against Sal Romano (6.36 implied team total), their offense sits in a tier of its own compared to everyone else. But tonight -- surprise, surprise -- the Red Sox are nipping at their heels with a 6.04 implied team total against Julio Teheran. We know this offense can rack up runs in a hurry at Fenway Park, and there's top-notch hitting weather with the wind blowing out this evening.

As a result, we ought to see Boston get its share of ownership from the masses, so how can you be a little different? Well, one way is to look down the bottom of the order at Jackie Bradley. No doubt, Bradley has scuffled this season, but Teheran has considerable struggles of his own against left-handed bats, with a career 16.9% strikeout rate, 9.5% walk rate, and .341 wOBA allowed.

Despite Bradley's quiet season at the plate, he's historically shown some intriguing pop, including back-to-back seasons in 2015 and 2016, when he put up an isolated power (ISO) above .260 against righties. That hitter has yet to materialize, but perhaps this is the matchup that can get him going.

At $2,500, Bradley is one of the cheapest ways to get Red Sox exposure, and if they pile up the runs, it won't matter that he only hits ninth. Consider taking a chance on a wrap-around stack to combine Bradley with the heavy-hitters at the top of the order.
