4 FanDuel MLB Value Plays for 8/19/16
Daniel Descalso, SS, Colorado Rockies
FanDuel Price: $3,000
Daniel Descalso is the best cheap way to get exposure to the game in Coors Field tonight, which has an over/under of 10.5.
He's having the best year of his career from the dish, hitting .286/.382/.408 with a .343 wOBA, a number that jumps to a solid .360 if we look at his splits against right-handed pitching.
His matchup tonight with Kyle Hendricks is better than it might seems on the surface, as despite an impressive 2.19 ERA, Hendricks has a 3.74 SIERA through 23 games this season, while he owns a career 3.76 xFIP against left-handed hitters.
Keep an eye on the weather at Coors tonight, as there seem to be some thunderstorm risks, but if you're looking for budget-friendly exposure to this matchup, Descalso is the way to go.
