4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/20/16
Melky Cabrera has a great matchup against Ross Detwiler. What other low-cost options could put up big numbers?

Melky Cabrera, OF, Chicago White Sox

FanDuel Price: $3,000

As of writing, the Chicago White Sox have a hefty 5.03 implied total as they take on Ross Detwiler and the Oakland Athletics.

Detwiler has a 5.49 SIERA on the season, following up an already-ugly 5.28 SIERA from last season. His strikeout and walk rates are identical -- at 10.8% -- and he makes for a great matchup for just about any hitter.

Melky Cabrera is having a decent season so far, slashing .293/.340/.436 with a .333 wOBA. The wOBA jumps to a strong .370 if we look at his splits against left-handed pitching.

There aren't many White Sox hitters not worth taking a look at against Detwiler, but Cabrera makes for a really strong value option.
