4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/17/16
Welington Castillo has crushed lefties this year, and he has a good matchup against Jon Niese.

Derek Dietrich, 1B, Miami Marlins

FanDuel Price: $2,500

Derek Dietrich has some fairly drastic platoon splits this season. His overall numbers may not look great, but he is slashing .298/.397/.434 with a solid .364 wOBA against right-handed pitching,

He has a good matchup versus Homer Bailey, a righty who has struggled with left-handed hitters. Over his career, Bailey is allowing a .331 wOBA while pitching to a 3.95 xFIP against southpaws.

Dietrich has been rolling lately, slashing .417/.548/.583 through the first half of August, and he has a good chance to continue that success here.
