4 Under-the-Radar FanDuel MLB Plays for 9/2/16
The Major League leader in home runs will probably be ignored on Friday. Who else might be floating under the radar?

Mark Trumbo, OF, Baltimore Orioles

FanDuel Price: $3,300

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Mark Trumbo has smashed 40 home runs this season, but he's struggled in the second half to a .679 OPS. With the Coors slate and Nelson Cruz and Franklin Gutierrez taking aim at a lefty, the 33rd-most expensive outfielder on Friday's slate should see low ownership.

Why You Should Use Him:

Trumbo has been fantastic against right-handed pitching in 2016, logging a .915 OPS and a .290 ISO. At home, those numbers place him in elite company, as he has a .990 OPS and a .328 ISO against righties.

Trumbo and the Orioles will face Chad Green, who's allowed a bunch of fly balls (37.0% of batted balls), and a lot of hard hits (36.6% of batted balls).

Trumbo's volatility probably points to tournament play, but given the matchup, he's got cash game viability, too.
