3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 6/29/18

Robinson Chirinos, C, Texas Rangers

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Tonight's highest implied team total (5.65) belongs to the Texas Rangers, who will enjoy dinger-friendly temperatures in the high 90s at home tonight. They will almost certainly be extremely popular in tournaments against Dylan Covey.

But with Covey showing an annoying 60.0% ground-ball rate this season, he's no longer the walk in the park he was last year. Still, we can target fly-ball batters against him with the hopes of taking advantage of this Texas heat.

The inexpensive Joey Gallo and Rougned Odor should be popular choices, but we can also use Robinson Chirinos, who's sporting an ideal 50.0% hard-hit rate and 50.5% fly-ball rate. Chirinos is boom-or-bust with an ugly 38.6% strikeout rate, and he's unlikely to garner much attention as the number-eight hitter. But with two bombs in his last three games, we could be catching him at just the right time.
