5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 7/7/17
Joey Gallo, 1B, Texas Rangers
FanDuel Price: $2,500
The Texas Rangers' 5.38 implied total is Friday's fourth-highest mark as they take on righty Ricky Nolasco and the Los Angeles Angels.
Nolasco has had a shaky start to the season, with a 4.45 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) that's on pace to beat out his 4.39 from 2016 as his worst mark since his 2007 sophomore season, and he has an especially bad 5.37 xFIP while allowing a 34.4% hard-hit and 43.8% fly-ball rate to left-handed bats.
Joey Gallo got banged up on Wednesday, so do check to make sure he's in the lineup tonight before locking him in, but if he suits up, his 42.7% hard-hit and 60.9% fly-ball rate against right-handed pitching will have him offering some serious upside.
