4 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays for 4/11/17
Despite facing a tough matchup, Dylan Bundy could be primed for a big day. Who else could fly under the radar on this slate?

Dylan Bundy, SP, Baltimore Orioles

FanDuel Price: $7,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Cole Hamels is the most expensive arm on the day, and he faces a nice matchup against the Los Angeles Angels, who ranked only 19th in wOBA last season.

Baltimore Orioles starter Dylan Bundy has to face the juggernaut Boston Red Sox offense, who led the league last year in wOBA at .346. He did put together a great performance in his season debut, but has produced a 9.0% walk rate as a starting pitcher throughout his young career (spanning 78.2 innings), which could get him in trouble against a division rival.

Why You Should Use Him:

Bundy's 21.9% strikeout rate from last season doesn't look all too impressive, but it was much different when he moved from the bullpen to the starting rotation -- his strikeout rate jumped from 19.2% as a reliever to 23.5% as a starter.

Although the sample size is extremely limited through one week of play, Boston ranks just 21st in wOBA (.289), and that's partially because they haven't exactly been at full strength thanks to the flu.

In Bundy's first start of 2017, he generated 17 swings and misses, picking up right where he left off in the second half. If he can do the same Tuesday evening, he makes for a great play.
