4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/15/16
Kendrys Morales, 1B, Kansas City Royals
FanDuel Price: $2,600
Kendrys Morales is becoming a real mainstay of this article. His numbers to start this season aren't reflecting how well he has hit the ball, and so his salary is nice and low.
He has a 37.7% hard-hit rate on the season, on pace to be the second highest of his career. Despite that, he only has a 9.1% home-run-to-fly-ball ratio (compared to his 14.6% career average) and a .225 BABIP (.298 career average). He also boasts .346 wOBA and .204 ISO against righties in his career, and that puts him in a good spot against Matt Wisler today.
Wisler's numbers are pretty ugly through his first 27 games. He has a 4.93 SIERA while he has been beaten up by lefties to the tune of a .377 wOBA and 5.94 xFIP, posting a 10.8% strikeout rate and 11.1% walk rate.
