3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 6/5/18

Gary Sanchez, C, New York Yankees

FanDuel Price: $3,600

The New York Yankees have a pristine matchup against fly-ball pitcher Marco Estrada, and with a 5.43 implied team total, they ought to be a fairly popular stack in tournaments. Estrada owns a poor 5.13 SIERA and 16.5% strikeout rate, and he has allowed multiple home runs in both starts against the Yankees this season.

Normally we lump in Gary Sanchez with Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton when it comes to stacking the Bronx Bombers, but a recent slump has many souring on him. Over his last 10 games, Sanchez has gone just 2-for-32 with 10 strikeouts, giving him a paltry .169 wOBA over that stretch. Yikes.

But the good news is it's left Sanchez with a fairly reasonable price for a guy who's no stranger to salaries above $4,000, and with expensive aces Max Scherzer and Corey Kluber on the mound, we're going to need every last dollar we can get tonight. You never know when someone will bust out of their slump, and with Sanchez owning a hefty career .371 wOBA and .272 isolated power (ISO) against right-handers, he's a player we should side with more often than not.

At reduced price and potential lower-than-normal ownership, we shouldn't shy away from Sanchez due to a small rough patch.
