4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 9/29/16
Despite his struggles this year, Kike Hernandez is a strong fantasy option at close to a minimum salary for his clash with the struggling Christian Friedrich.

Kike Hernandez, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $2,100

"Kike Hernandez against a lefty" hasn't been the thing in 2016 that it was in the past. However, with Hernandez priced so close to the minimum, it's hard to write him off.

Hernandez has slashed .275/.367/.491 with a .369 wOBA and .216 ISO against southpaws over his career. He has struggled with lefties this season, but those struggles come with a .221 BABIP that is well below his career average of .323 despite his 30.5% hard-hit rate coming very close to his 31.8% career average.

Hernandez also has a good matchup to turn things around, facing off with Christian Friedrich. Friedrich has a 4.81 SIERA on the year, while he owns a rough 5.11 xFIP against right-handed hitters.
