3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 9/26/18

Kyle Schwarber, OF, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $3,400

Ivan Nova may be a respectable pitcher, but left-handed hitters remain a major weakness for him, as he's allowing a 5.17 FIP and .376 xwOBA to that side with a mere 12.3% strikeout rate. But with Coors Field in play tonight, along with excellent matchups for teams like the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels, outside of some potential value plays like Ben Zobrist, the Chicago Cubs aren't likely to be at the forefront of ownership.

Kyle Schwarber is well suited to take advantage of this matchup, and has that power upside we crave in tournaments, producing a 41.9% hard-hit rate, 39.2% fly-ball rate, and .269 ISO versus right-handed pitching this year. He's moved up to fifth in the order the past couple games, which gives his value a slight bump if he remains there tonight.
