5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/21/18
Matt Joyce, OF, Oakland Athletics
Price: $2,000
Giolito has been especially heinous against left-handed hitters in the Majors, with a 6.20 xFIP and a 13.0% walk rate that surpasses his 12.3% strikeout rate. Getting a left-handed hitter at minimum salary against him is rarely going to be a bad value spot
Matt Joyce -- expected to return from the DL -- and his numbers against right-handed pitching make him especially easy to like here.
Over the last two seasons, Joyce has made 643 plate appearances against righties. In that sample he has a solid .343 wOBA with a .230 ISO, which comes on a 31.8% hard-hit and 45.4% fly-ball rate. That's more than enough to make him a good bet to do damage against Giolito.
