3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 6/18/18
Jacob deGrom, P, New York Mets
FanDuel Price; $9,000
Look, no one will ever start a pitcher at Coors Field and feel good about it, but it's hard to ignore the discount we're getting on one of 2018's top arms.
Jacob deGrom is displaying a masterful 2.76 SIERA, 32.8% strikeout rate, and 6.7% walk rate, and his 24.3% hard-hit rate is the best among all qualified starters. The Colorado Rockies are always dangerous at home, but this is still a team that's managed only a 76 wRC+ against righties. It's not out of the question to think that deGrom can handle them despite the unfavorable environment.
Particularly with Trevor Bauer and Gerrit Cole on the board, few will want to risk using deGrom, but he's every bit as talented and will save you a good chunk of change for your bats. Don't be afraid to get a little deGrom exposure in GPPs.
