3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 8/30/18
Tyler White is enjoying a strong month at the plate, and he has a good chance to keep that going tonight. Who else is worth a gander in tournaments?

Trevor Story, SS, Colorado Rockies

FanDuel Price: $3,700

The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox have by far the night's highest implied team totals, so they figure to see the most ownership, with perhaps the Oakland Athletics also getting some attention on the value side of things.

Therefore, it's kind of open season in tourneys if you want to try some other offenses, including the Colorado Rockies in a solid spot against Eric Lauer. Petco Park is a far cry from Coors Field, but Lauer has posted an underwhelming 4.74 SIERA, 18.8% strikeout rate, 9.3% walk rate, and 39.4% hard-hit rate, and he will be making his first start since the end of July.

Trevor Story is having a heck of a season, and while much of that can naturally be attributed to Coors, he's consistently produced against lefties over his young career. Even if we narrow it down to his 221 career road plate appearances versus southpaws, he's produced a 53.0% hard-hit rate, 47.9% fly-ball rate, .369 wOBA, and .234 ISO. Despite the venue, Story is in the right matchup to produce against an inexperienced left-hander, who could also be rusty from a long layoff.
