4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/20/16
Nick Hundley, C, Colorado Rockies
FanDuel Price: $3,000
The ever-elusive budget-friendly play at Coors Field, Nick Hundley draws a matchup at home against Mike Montgomery.
Montgomery has a career 4.15 xFIP against right-handed hitters, and this start will mark only the third of the year for him as he has mostly been handling relief duties.
Hundley has produced some solid numbers against left-handed pitching this season, slashing .304/.347/.493 with a .347 wOBA, .188 ISO and a huge 37.0% hard-hit rate. Also encouraging for a game in Coors is his career 39.6% fly ball rate against lefties.
He's not exactly an elite hitter, but with such favorable conditions, Hundley offers big upside.
