3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 9/19/18
With Ryan O'Hearn and the Kansas City Royals offense performing better than you might expect down the stretch, could they get to Chris Archer tonight?

Cole Hamels, P, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $8,800

Unlike the Royals, the Arizona Diamondbacks haven't fared so well over the last 30 days, with their 64 wRC+ ranking second-worst over that span, ahead of only the lowly San Francisco Giants. They've also struck out 24.9% of the time over this stretch.

With both Carlos Carrasco and Walker Buehler likely to garner a good chunk of ownership in plus matchups, if you're looking for a pivot in tournaments, Cole Hamels is worth consideration against these Diamondbacks.

Since joining the Chicago Cubs, Hamels has seen new life, posting a 1.57 ERA, 3.11 FIP, 24.6% strikeout rate, and 8.5% walk rate. Hamels' strikeout numbers may not compare to those of Carrasco or Buehler, but he's still shown a nice ceiling this season, and could post a big score against an offense that might be fading down the stretch.
