3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 7/31/18

Chris Taylor, SS, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $3,200

Wade Miley's numbers look good on the surface, as he has recorded a 2.01 ERA and a solid 53.7% ground-ball rate through five starts with the Brewers. However, a closer inspection shows that he has a massive 5.71 SIERA and 13.7% walk rate with a measly 12.6% strikeout rate. He has been very lucky to this point, and his luck could run out tonight against a loaded Dodgers lineup.

One way to get a piece of the action on the LA side without breaking the bank is to plug in Chris Taylor at just $3,200. Taylor has been batting leadoff and playing shortstop against lefties while Justin Turner nurses another injury, with Manny Machado sliding over to third base. Taylor has a .205 ISO with a 41.1% hard-hit rate against southpaws, and he offers a great mix of floor and upside in this spot.

With some solid high-end arms like Trevor Bauer toeing the rubber tonight, settling in the mid-range is going to be necessary at several offensive positions. Taylor and his modest tag are a great way to do just that.
