4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 10/1/16
Welington Castillo, C, Arizona Diamondbacks
FanDuel Price: $2,800
Welington Castillo continues to sport a low price tag, and he is in a good matchup at home in a hitter-friendly park.
Clayton Richard is starting for the San Diego Padres, and despite a strong 2.98 ERA on the year, he has a rough 4.31 SIERA with a 14.1% strikeout rate and 9.5% walk rate. Right-handed bats have been especially good against him, posting a .332 wOBA.
Castillo is capable of doing nasty things to southpaws. He is beating up on them for a .278/.346/.522 slash with a .367 wOBA, .243 ISO and absurd 53.5% hard-hit rate (with only a 9.3% soft-hit rate) through 115 plate appearances this season.
