4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/4/18
Jarrod Dyson, OF, Arizona Diamondbacks
Price: $2,300
The only player we project as a better value than Ahmed is his teammate, Jarrod Dyson.
Dyson is expected to bat leadoff tonight -- a spot he occupied the last time Arizona faced a southpaw -- which puts him in a great spot to produce against Holland, who has an ugly 5.28 xFIP against left-handed bats. Holland is also allowing a career-high 39.4% hard-hit rate to go with a 43.3% fly-ball rate this season.
Dyson is not especially good against left-handed pitching, but this matchup with Holland gives him a great shot at getting on base, where his fantasy value really shines through. He has already swiped 9 bases in 2018, while he notched 28 in 2017 and 30 in 2016, giving him an average of 30.8 steals per season over the last five years. That gives him big upside here.
If Dyson doesn't hit atop the order, he'd lose a good amount of his appeal, so make sure to check Arizona's lineup tonight.
