4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 7/15/16
Tucker Barnhart, C, Cincinnati Reds
FanDuel Price: $2,500
The Cincinnati Reds have the highest implied total on today's main slate, at 4.93, as they take on Matt Garza and the Milwaukee Brewers.
Gaza has been steadily declining over the past few seasons, and he's in the midst of the worst year of his career. He has a 5.01 SIERA and a 12.5 percent strikeout rate, both career-worsts, and is allowing a huge 36.7 percent hard-hit rate.
Tucker Barnhart isn't posting jaw-dropping numbers this year, but it has been his best year from the dish in his young career. He is also sporting some encouraging numbers against right-handed pitching, with a 32.8 percent hard-hit and only an 8.6 percent soft-hit rate.
Hitting in a Cincinnati lineup that should produce some major offense tonight, and with a great matchup against Garza, Barnhart is in a great spot.
