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.

Nick Markakis, OF, Atlanta Braves

FanDuel Price: $3,000

Jeremy Hellickson is taking the mound for the Philadelphia Phillies, and he has not shown much promise over career with a 4.28 SIERA through seven seasons. He's sporting a 4.20 SIERA this year, and he has struggled with left-handed hitters, allowing a .330 wOBA while pitching to a 4.89 xFIP.

This sets up nicely for Nick Markakis. He is by no means a killer from the dish, but Markakis has some solid numbers against righties. Markakis is slashing .280/.360/.431 with a .338 wOBA and 33.5% hard-hit rate against right-handers this season. Those numbers plus the Atlanta Braves' solid 4.50 implied total puts Markakis in an enticing spot.
