4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/4/18
Nick Ahmed, SS, Arizona Diamondbacks
Price: $2,400
The San Francisco Giants will be starting lefty Derek Holland, creating some nice value in the Arizona Diamondbacks' offense.
Holland finished both the 2016 and 2017 seasons with a SIERA north of 5.00, and while he has shown some improvement this year, his 4.70 SIERA is still very weak.
Nick Ahmed doesn't have especially strong numbers overall, but his work against lefties is pretty good. Through a small sample of 62 plate appearances in 2018, he has a .371 wOBA and 36.2% hard-hit rate in the split, bringing him to a .349 wOBA and .206 ISO in 203 plate appearances versus lefties over the last three seasons.
Our models have Ahmed as the day's second-best point-per-dollar value.
