3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 7/24/18

Charlie Blackmon, OF, Colorado Rockies

FanDuel Price: $4,000

Going up against Gerrit Cole is far from ideal, but between the matchup and a slew of other appealing offenses tonight, this will be one of the few times we can roster the Colorado Rockies at low ownership in the thin air of Coors Field.

Although Cole is in the midst of his best season yet, he's been treading a bit more dangerously over his last five starts, posting a 12.4% walk rate while allowing a 40.0% hard-hit rate and 35.9% ground-ball rate. Of course, he's still produced a stellar 32.2% strikeout rate, so this isn't to say this is risk-free, but all those walks and hard hits could come back to bite him in a hitter's paradise like Coors.

Given the high strikeout rate, a full stack probably isn't advisable, but it can't hurt to take a chance on someone like Charlie Blackmon, who entered the All-Star break red-hot. And he's also showing a 44.0% hard-hit rate, .431 expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA), and .292 isolated power (ISO) in the month of July.
