4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/9/16
Jimmy Rollins, SS, Chicago White Sox
FanDuel Price: $2,900
A switch-hitter, Jimmy Rollins has been slightly better against right-handed pitching over his career with a .324 wOBA and .160 ISO.
While those numbers aren't exactly breathtaking and his production has dipped a bit with age, he's nice and cheap while in a great spot tonight. The White Sox face the shaky Colby Lewis in the hitter-friendly Globe Life Park, and Rollins should be hitting near the top of the order for a team with a solid implied total of 4.61.
Lewis has struggled against lefties over his entire career, allowing a .355 wOBA while posting a 16.7 percent strikeout rate and 4.66 xFIP. Rollins isn't a play with massive upside, but the stars have aligned nicely for him to offer solid value tonight.
