3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 6/8/18
The Phillies don't have one of tonight's higher implied team totals, but Carlos Santana is in a good spot to produce against Jhoulys Chacin.

Matt Carpenter, 3B, St. Louis Cardinals

FanDuel Price: $3,800

The St. Louis Cardinals have a 5.03 implied team total in an enticing matchup against Matt Harvey at Great American Ball Park. But with top pitchers like Chris Sale, Stephen Strasburg, and Jacob deGrom on the board, there won't be as much cash to go around for tonight's bats. Therefore, with limited funds, most people will likely focus on spending up on Coors Field, or more popular offenses like the Houston Astros or Boston Red Sox.

But Harvey has been brutal versus lefties over the past few years, and that's no different in 2018. He's given up a .410 wOBA and 42.2% hard-hit rate against them to this point. So, don't forget about leadoff man Matt Carpenter, who's got a 47.9% hard-hit rate and .393 expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA), and holds a career 137 wRC+ versus right-handed pitching.
