4 Under-the-Radar FanDuel MLB Plays for 9/7/16
Overshadowed by teammate Brian Dozier, Miguel Sano has been crushing the ball, and he gets to face a left-hander tonight.

A.J. Pollock, OF, Arizona Diamondbacks

FanDuel Price: $3,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

The Arizona Diamondbacks are an elite offensive team at Chase Field, but they become a middle-of-the-pack lineup when they hit the road, sporting a .313 road wOBA in 2016, which ranks 15th.

On Wednesday, the Diamondbacks will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in Chavez Ravine, and Arizona boasts an implied team total of only 3.64 runs. With that low total, A.J. Pollock, who's only played nine games in 2016, is unlikely to see much ownership.

Why You Should Use Him:

Pollock has been fantastic since coming back from injury. He's averaged 11.7 FanDuel points over those nine contests, and he has displayed both the power (1 home run) and speed (4 stolen bases) that made him such a valuable commodity coming into the year.

In a very small sample size of 22 2/3 innings at the big-league level, Dodgers' starter Brock Stewart has shown nice strikeout potential (22%). He's also giving up 2.65 home runs per nine innings and is allowing a ton of fly balls (40% fly-ball rate). Stewart's allowed even worse numbers to righties as they've logged a .568 slugging percentage and .415 wOBA against him.

With Pollock's limited sample, Coors on the slate slate and a low implied total for Arizona, Pollack should see relatively small ownership with a chance for a big night.
