5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/18/18
Tyler Naquin, OF, Cleveland Indians
Price: $2,000
Sticking with Cleveland and their huge implied total against Covey, Tyler Naquin is priced all the way down at the minimum.
Naquin is no killer from the dish, but he has turned in a respectable .347 wOBA in his 89 plate appearances this year, bringing his career average to .357 over three Major League seasons.
His work against right-handed pitching has been especially encouraging. His batted-ball profile against righties includes a 40.7% hard-hit and 14.9% soft-hit rate, and that has translated into a .363 wOBA with a .194 ISO over 441 plate appearance. Those are huge numbers for a minimum-salary bat, and in what looks to be a plus matchup with Covey, that creates a ton of value.
