4 Under-the-Radar FanDuel MLB Plays for 8/25/16
Facing Max Scherzer, Chris Davis will likely be overlooked on Wednesday. What other players make for quality under-the-radar options?

Jose Ramirez, 3B, Cleveland Indians

FanDuel Price: $3,100

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Similar to the Orioles against Max Scherzer, the Cleveland Indians face Texas Rangers' ace Cole Hamels. Hamels has been brilliant in 2016 (13-4 and 2.80 ERA), and he has been even better in the second half, sporting an ERA of 1.85 since the break.

Why You Should Use Him:

As excellent as Hamels has been in 2016, he has shown some warts at home this year. When pitching at Globe Life Park, he owns an xFIP of 4.20 while allowing 1.49 homers per nine innings. In addition, right-handed bats at home have been a big problem as they are slugging .493 with a .386 wOBA off Hamels.

Many will turn to Francisco Lindor and Mike Napoli, but Jose Ramirez is a nice play, especially considering the lower price point..
