3 Under-the-Radar MLB FanDuel Plays for 9/27/18
Ronald Acuna, OF, Atlanta Braves
FanDuel Price: $3,900
While a player like Ronald Acuna figures to see his share of ownership on a six-game slate, he could see lower ownership than most of tonight's other top stars with the Atlanta Braves getting just a 4.06 implied total.
Although left-hander Jason Vargas has had his moments lately, this is still a pitcher who has posted a 6.25 ERA with a modest 4.40 SIERA, while allowing a .342 expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA).
On the other hand, Acuna continues to put up fantastic numbers in his rookie campaign, with a 45.0% hard-hit rate, 40.1% fly-ball rate, .388 wOBA, and .267 ISO. With the possibility of the low implied total and Vargas' recent form potentially deflating ownership, Acuna and the Braves are a strong way to go in tournaments.
