3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 8/7/18

Joey Gallo, OF, Texas Rangers

FanDuel Price: $3,800

Just last week, we were getting Joey Gallo for under $3,000, but slugging three dingers in three days tends to raise the ol' price tag. Now, he's no longer a shoo-in play, despite the Texas Rangers getting a 5.44 implied team total against Felix Hernandez in sweltering Arlington.

But that could put a dent in his ownership, making it even more beneficial to take a shot on Gallo in tournaments.

Hernandez stopped being a pitcher to fear long ago, as he is allowing a 38.6% hard-hit rate, 38.8% ground-ball rate, and .384 expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA) to left-handed hitters. You likely don't need much convincing of Gallo's power, but against righties, he's boasting a 47.2% hard-hit rate, 50.9% fly-ball rate, and .260 ISO this season.
