4 Under-the-Radar FanDuel MLB Plays for 9/14/16
Jose Abreu, 1B, Chicago White Sox
FanDuel Price: $3,300
Why He Will Go Overlooked:
Like it is most days, first base is a loaded position on Wednesday with Miguel Cabrera, David Ortiz and Chris Carter in great spots. As a result, Jose Abreu should be largely overlooked, while the Chicago White Sox sport an implied team total of 4.33 runs.
Why You Should Use Him:
Abreu and the White Sox will take on Josh Tomlin, who was skipped his last time through the rotation due to poor performance.
In the second half of 2016, Tomlin has allowed a whopping 2.61 home runs per nine innings, and batters have recorded a hard-hit rate of 39.5% against him in the second half. In August, 46% of hitters made hard contact versus Tomlin.
Abreu had a quiet first half, but he has logged a .949 OPS and .215 ISO in the second half. He makes for a sneaky play with big upside.
