4 Under-the-Radar FanDuel MLB Plays for 8/8/16
Jose Fernandez and Johnny Cueto are the big names on tonight's slate, but Zach Davies is in a terrific spot too.

Chris Davis, 1B, Baltimore Orioles

FanDuel Price: $3,600

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

The Orioles have just the ninth-highest implied team total tonight, and Chris Davis has been very cold recently, so he probably won't be overly popular tonight.

Why You Should Use Him:

Davis has been in a funk, but he homered last night and will look to build on that against Kendall Graveman.

Graveman's ERA is up to 4.46 after allowing 10 combined runs over his last two starts, and his career xFIP has jumped from 3.97 against righties to 4.76 against lefties.

Davis was the best power hitter in the American League against righties last season, blasting an absurd 37 homers off of right-handed pitching. While he hasn't been as locked in as last season, he still has killed right-handed pitching, boasting a 41.3 percent hard-hit rate against them.

Davis isn't a safe cash game option, but he is a very interesting tournament play tonight against Graveman.
