4 Under-the-Radar FanDuel MLB Plays for 8/22/16
Facing Stephen Strasburg, Chris Davis may go overlooked. Who else profiles as an upside play?

Homer Bailey, P, Cincinnati Reds

FanDuel Price: $7,700

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Homer Bailey is making only his fifth start off of the disabled list, returning from Tommy John surgery. In addition, with the all-important win on FanDuel grabbing an extra 12 points, the 53-70 Cincinnati Reds may scare a few folks off.

Why You Should Use Him:

Bailey has been pretty nasty in his first four starts, recording 30 or more FanDuel points in three of the four.

While it's also an obviously small sample size, he is striking out 31.4% of hitters he has faced so far in 2016. In addition, he's only allowing a hard-hit rate of 27.5%.

Bailey will lock horns with Scott Kazmir, who's been pretty mediocre this year with a 4.10 SIERA, and the Reds (+121) aren't exactly long shots to pick up a win.
